This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program.

Step 3. Update Samsung Voice Manager to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Samsung Voice Manager program, it is possible that Samsung Digital Voice Recorder Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Samsung Group website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VYF 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to VYF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VYF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VYF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VYF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VYF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Samsung help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VYF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the VYF file to another location.
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 VYF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
