Can I change the extension of RST files?

Changing the filename extension of a file is not a good idea. When you change a file's extension, you change the way programs on your computer read/open the file. The problem is, changing the file extension does not change the file format. Select a software program from our list and install it on your computer. If the file has not opened correctly, you have to look for a different software program from our list. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.


What else may cause problems width open a RST file?

The reasons for the lack of the ability to open a RST file on your computer may be at least several. The easiest thing is to find a suitable application installed on your computer, which will open a RST file. If there is still something wrong, you might want to check:

  • Whether the RST file is damaged.
  • Whether the RST file is incorrectly linked in the registry entries.
  • Whether the RST file extension has been accidentally removed from the Windows registry.
  • Whether the installation of an application that supports the RST file format is incompletely.
  • Whether the RST file is infected.
  • Whether the drivers of the equipment used for opening a RST file are up to date.
  • Whether your computer has enough hardware resources to open a RST file.

If the RST file still not working with your software after eliminating the above shortcomings? That means that the problem is more complex and requires the help of a specialist.
