Frequent WBF Opening Issues

Microsoft Notepad Removed

Double-clicking your WBF file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open WBF File". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Notepad is not installed on %%os%%. 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 WBF files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Microsoft Notepad Requires Update

If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Notepad (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. 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 WBF file and clicking "Properties".
