The .HST file extension stands for History File. A History File is a type of file created by specific applications, such as Multisoft Prompt, to store the user's browsing histories. This type of file stores recognized data and events relating to web activities. It records the individual sessions and cache elements that users have repeated, such as websites visited, images viewed and number of times entered.
Importance Of HST Files
HST files are important to computer users because it allows their web browsers to quickly re-enter information that was saved in a previous session. Users can also use HST files to more easily enter new sites since the file will remember certain credentials such as passwords and usernames or will store past searches. HST files can be used for recovering accidentally deleted web pages and making backup copies of websites, making it easier to restore earlier versions of a page.
Other Similar File Extensions
Other similar file extensions include: .DAT, .HIS, .HPL, .LOG, SHIS, and .VEC.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .HST) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .HST extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .HST file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .HST extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .HST extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .HST file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .HST file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .HST file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .HST file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .HST file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
