How to open THE file?

An often recurring problem with Microsoft Plus! Theme Format is that THE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file THE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the THE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Microsoft Plus!

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Plus! is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Plus! in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file THE with Microsoft Plus!. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open THE files.

Programs to open THE file

Remember to download programs supporting THE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Plus! with THE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the THE file still does not use the Microsoft Plus! program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the THE file with the Microsoft Plus! application.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Plus! to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Plus! program, it is possible that Microsoft Plus! Theme Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the THE file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The THE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the THE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our THE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover THE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the THE file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular THE file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted THE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the THE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
