Troubles Opening ZONE.IDENTIFIER Files

Missing Microsoft Windows

Double-clicking your ZONE.IDENTIFIER file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open ZONE.IDENTIFIER File". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Windows for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your ZONE.IDENTIFIER with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Windows installed, and you know of another program to open your ZONE.IDENTIFIER file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Incorrect Microsoft Windows Version

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Microsoft Windows Zone Identifier File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Windows if you don't have the right version.
