ABP File Extension

How to open ABP file?

After double-clicking on the unknown file icon, the system should open it in the default software that supports it. If this does not happen, download and install the AVS Barcode Source software and then manually associate the file with it.

Step 1. Download and install AVS Barcode Source

If there is no AVS Barcode Source or similar software in the system that supports files with the ABP extension, you must first download and install it. Below you will find a list of the most-used applications that work with ABP. After going to the subpage of the program you will find a link to the developer's website, where you can safely download the software installer.

Step 2. Associate AVS Barcode Source with the ABP file extension

If the user already has one of the applications installed, the next step will be to associate it with the file extension ABP. This can be done in two ways - one is to manually edit the Windows Registry and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT keys. The second way is simpler and definitely recommended for less advanced users.

• Right click on the unknown ABP file you want to open
• Select "Open with" from the menu
• Click "Choose another application"
• Click "More applications"
• Click "Find more applications on this PC" and indicate the installation location of the appropriate program
• Finally, select the "Always use the selected program to open ABP files" option and confirm the whole operation.

Remember! Manually editing the system registry is only recommended for advanced users, and changes made to it without proper knowledge may result in damage to the system.

Step 3. Check out other possible problems related to ABP files.

Sometimes it happens that despite having the right application and the correct configuration, there are still problems with opening the ABP files. You should then find out what is the reason of the problem.

• Check if the ABP file is not infected - When the file ABP is infected with a virus or malware, it probably will not be able to be opened correctly. In this case, scan the ABP file and take the actions recommended by the antivirus program installed on the system. Most often it is disinfection or deletion of an infected file.
• Check if you, as the operating system user, have appropriate permissions to work with the file ABP
• Check if the icon is an element of the correct file but not only a shortcut to the location where the ABP file no longer exists.
• Check that the system has the necessary resources to run the AVS Barcode Source application and open the ABP file.
• Check if the file is complete - Sometimes it happens that the ABP file was not copied completely from the external Flash memory, or downloaded from the Internet. When the file is incomplete, it is not possible to open it correctly. In this case, please download or copy the file ABP again.

Step 4. Contact an IT expert

When all of the above methods have failed, it remains to contact an IT specialist or developers of the AVS BARCODE SOURCE program.
