What is a KIX file?
The KIX extension is given to files whose content is code written in a scripting programming language called KiXtart. The KIX file contains a script that can be used with Microsoft Windows and Windows Server. Scripts are used to automate the sequence of certain activities in the system and to supervise certain events, for example logging.
The KiXtart language has a built-in mechanism to facilitate the creation of scripts. It supports, among others, the ADSI programming interface or the ActiveX Data Objects standard. The author of KiXtart is Ruud van Velsen.

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- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a KIX file are out of date.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