Step 2. Create association of Total Commander with XDC files

If, despite the installed application, the XDC file does not start in the Total Commander application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XDC file with the Total Commander program.

Step 3. Update Total Commander to the latest version

If, however, after binding Total Commander with Total Commander With DarkCrypt IV Plug-in Encrypted there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Ghisler Software GmbH website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 XDC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XDC or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected XDC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of XDC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XDC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact TOTALCMD.NET
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XDC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the XDC file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XDC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
