What is XLIST file?
The file with the extension XLIST is the Text Files file type. In addition to this file, the Text Files category includes 440 related files. XList Document Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Mac OS, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is xList. This was created by ADNX Software.
How to open XLIST file?
The most common problem when using XList Document Format is that a specific XLIST is not associated with the program. This causes the file XLIST to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XLIST 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 xList
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that xList is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name xList into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XLIST with xList. Below is a list of programs that support the file XLIST.
Programs to open XLIST file
Remember to download programs supporting XLIST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of xList with XLIST files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XLIST file still does not use the xList program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 XLIST file with the xList application.
Step 3. Update xList to the latest version
If, despite the association of the xList program with the XList Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ADNX Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLIST file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XLIST 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XLIST file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XLIST files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XLIST file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XLIST file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XLIST 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XLIST file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the XLIST file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XLIST to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XLIST file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
