What is a CXT file?
CXT is a modify-protected multimedia document file. CXT files are used by Adobe Director application for sharing documents between project members.
CXT format is now mostly obsolete and has been replaced by more advanced CCT format. CXT files were introduced along with Adobe Director 11 to allow project members to have access to non-editable shared objects related to given project.

How to open CXT files
If you cannot open the CXT file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports CXT among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the CXT file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the CXT format files
The inability to open and operate the CXT file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Adobe Director Protected Cast Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a CXT file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the CXT file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the CXT from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the CXT format
- The CXT file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the CXT file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a CXT file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the CXT file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the CXT file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the CXT file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.CXT) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected CXT file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the CXT file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. CXT) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
