How to open URLS file?

The most common problem when using GetRight Internet Shortcuts List is that a specific URLS is not associated with the program.

Programs to open URLS file

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

Step 2. Create association of GetRight Download Manager with URLS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the URLS file still does not use the GetRight Download Manager 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 URLS file with the GetRight Download Manager application.

Step 3. Update GetRight Download Manager to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the GetRight Download Manager program, it is possible that GetRight Internet Shortcuts List requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Headlight Software, Inc. page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The URLS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the URLS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the URLS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected URLS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the URLS file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair URLS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Headlight Software, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted URLS 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the URLS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the URLS file again. However, some background programs may block the URLS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
