What is a LOL file?
LOL is a text file that contains source code written in LOLCODE programming language. LOLCODE is a not a proper programming language but more of a humorous atempt at code writting process. LOL files are inspired by meme images that depict cats (‘lolcats’).
LOL file extension is not used for any proper application developed by programmers. LOLCODE is a rather limited language and is considered a mere curio. However, LOLCODE is popular among hackers and therefore users should maintain caution when having to deal with LOL files.

How to open LOL files
If you cannot open the LOL 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 LOL 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 LOL file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the LOL format files
The inability to open and operate the LOL 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 Lolcode Source Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a LOL file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the LOL file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the LOL from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the LOL format
- The LOL 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 LOL file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a LOL file are out of date.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 LOL file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the LOL file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the LOL 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.LOL) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected LOL 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 LOL 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. LOL) 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.
