What is a SET file?
File with a .SET extension contains settings or configuration of a program. It is a general format, utilised by different sorts of programs and its structure is not fixed. SET files should not be modified manually, in order not to disturb application’s functioning.
Software utilising SET files is diverse, these are, for instance, Alpha Five, Autodesk AutoCAD, Corel Painter, Diablo II or Nikon Capture. SET files are loaded usually when an application is being loaded.

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- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a SET file are out of date.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