What is a MHT file?
Files with the .MHT extension contain webpage archives, namely the page’s HTML code, images, and other elements displayed on the page, formatted using MIME HTML, MHTML for short, and saved in a single file.
These files can be created by saving the webpage in the Internet Explorer browser. By default, a webpage viewed in the browser contains only the resulting HTML code and references to image or multimedia files located in different catalogs on the server. The MHT format allows for saving all those files in the form of a single, encoded file that functions as a page archive. Opening and saving this type of file is also supported by Microsoft Word.

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- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a MHT file are out of date.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