How to open XP~ file?

The main problem with WindowBlinds Temporary is that the XP~ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file XP~ 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 XP~ 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 WindowBlinds

In this case, you should first verify that the WindowBlinds application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WindowBlinds into the operating 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 XP~.

Programs to open XP~ file

Remember to download programs supporting XP~ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WindowBlinds with XP~ files

If, despite the installed application, the XP~ file does not start in the WindowBlinds application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 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 WindowBlinds application as the default for handling the XP~ file.

Step 3. Update WindowBlinds to the latest version

If, however, after binding WindowBlinds with WindowBlinds Temporary 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 Stardock Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XP~ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The XP~ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to XP~ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XP~ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XP~ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XP~ 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XP~ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Stardock Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XP~ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move XP~ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XP~ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XP~ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
