How to open WHTT file?

The most common problem when using HTTrack Website Copier Format is that a specific WHTT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WHTT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WHTT 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 WinHTTrack

The first step is to check if the computer has the WinHTTrack program installed. To do this, enter the name WinHTTrack into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file WHTT.

Step 2. Create association of WinHTTrack with WHTT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WHTT file still does not use the WinHTTrack program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinHTTrack application as the default for handling the WHTT file.

Step 3. Update WinHTTrack to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the WinHTTrack program, it is possible that HTTrack Website Copier Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Xavier Roche website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WHTT 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WHTT 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WHTT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WHTT 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 WHTT 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WHTT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Xavier Roche help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WHTT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WHTT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WHTT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WHTT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
