How to open WIPESLACK file?
The main problem with Norton Utilities Sendto is that the WIPESLACK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WIPESLACK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WIPESLACK 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 Norton Utilities
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Norton Utilities is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Norton Utilities into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WIPESLACK with Norton Utilities. Below is a list of programs that support the file WIPESLACK.
Programs to open WIPESLACK file
Remember to download programs supporting WIPESLACK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Utilities with WIPESLACK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WIPESLACK file still does not use the Norton Utilities program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Norton Utilities application as the default for handling the WIPESLACK file.
Step 3. Update Norton Utilities to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Norton Utilities program with the Norton Utilities Sendto file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Symantec Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WIPESLACK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to WIPESLACK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WIPESLACK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WIPESLACK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WIPESLACK file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 WIPESLACK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Symantec Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WIPESLACK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move WIPESLACK to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WIPESLACK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WIPESLACK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WIPESLACK file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
