Understanding HTX Issues


Common HTX Opening Problems

Microsoft Notepad is Not Installed

You attempt to load your HTX file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The HTX File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Notepad isn't installed on your PC. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens HTX files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Outdated Microsoft Notepad

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Notepad installed that's incompatible with your HTML Extension File type. Download the latest Microsoft Notepad version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your HTX file and clicking "Properties".


Conclusion: The majority of HTX file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Notepad version installed.


Other HTX File Opening Causes

Errors opening HTML Extension File files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Notepad software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading HTX files, other external issues might be to blame. These issues include:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for HTX are wrong
  • Deletion of the HTX file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Partial installation of Microsoft Notepad that did not fully complete
  • Something has caused file corruption of your HTX
  • Your HTX is infected with malware
  • HTX-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Windows cannot load your HTML Extension File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)

Poll: How many different computer files (eg. documents, videos, audio) do you typically view or edit on a daily basis?
