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 CP Email Reporting Security software and then manually associate the file with it.
Step 1. Download and install CP Email Reporting Security
If there is no CP Email Reporting Security or similar software in the system that supports files with the CP9 extension, you must first download and install it. Below you will find a list of the most-used applications that work with CP9. 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 CP Email Reporting Security with the CP9 file extension
If the user already has one of the applications installed, the next step will be to associate it with the file extension CP9. 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 CP9 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 CP9 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 CP9 files.
Sometimes it happens that despite having the right application and the correct configuration, there are still problems with opening the CP9 files. You should then find out what is the reason of the problem.
Check if the CP9 file is not infected - When the file CP9 is infected with a virus or malware, it probably will not be able to be opened correctly. In this case, scan the CP9 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 CP9
Check if the icon is an element of the correct file but not only a shortcut to the location where the CP9 file no longer exists.
Check that the system has the necessary resources to run the CP Email Reporting Security application and open the CP9 file.
Check if the file is complete - Sometimes it happens that the CP9 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 CP9 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 CP EMAIL REPORTING SECURITY program.
