Document files with. How can BAK ext, I open to try to recover my files.

I need help, try to open a folder with a document. BAK Extension. I lost a lot of my files after that my computer was turned off suddenly. I found this file after searching for days, but I get a notice I need another program to open it. Need help to at least see if the files are still there or not. Thanks, Leslie

Here's an article on the BAK files and how to read them. http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/bak.  You cannot read them in fact as BAK files, you read them as the original program.  It can be as simple as removing the. BAK Extension (the original extension can be part of the file name).

Here is another article on the treatment of the BAK files: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/800229/how_to_open_a_bak_file.html?cat=15.  It basically says the same thing - you must determine the type of original file and rename it to open it (and you may need to proceed by trial and error, unless you recognize the name of the file).

I wish there was an easier way, but BAK files can be almost any type of tile and only once you know the type of file you will be able to open the document correctly.  There is no 3rd party program to determine the types of original file of the BAK files unfortunately.

I hope this helps.

Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

    How can I add fonts Open my file in Design?

    You don't "add" fonts with InDesign, you install the fonts in your system, or if you want to see the police only in InDesign and not in other applications, you install (put it in) in InDesign CC/Fonts.

    Once installed (whether on your system folder or fonts in InDesign), you can use them in InDesign.

    But as it comes to knowledge of basic computer I have the feeling that you can mean something else...?

  • When I send several documents for signature, how can we separate these documents again once I got the signature?

    When I send several documents for signature, how can we separate these documents again once I got the signature for each of them. Its way easier if I send all together, because the signatory needs to sign once and then just click on the other signature fields, but if I separate documents, how I divide again?

    Hello Anna,

    If you have a professional account, there is a feature that you can enable to recover separate documents. You can go to the account-> account setting-> general framework 'Keep the separate documents' and select Save.

    Download and run JDiskReport.

    There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a larger hard drive.

    • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
    • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files to delete or uninstall applications.

    How can I get the opening for an enlarged screen screen

    If you are talking about an Internet Explorer page, three options.
     

    1: take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.
      
     
    2: any shortcut you use to launch the window, right-click, and select Properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down list, choose "expanded".
