The SET file extension is associated with the Windows Operating System. It is a configuration file type used to store settings information for programs. A SET file is a data file used to tell applications which options should be enabled when running. Typically, SET files are small, plain text files that contain system parameters, default settings, user preferences and other data related to a particular application.
Common usages
SET files are often used as configuration files in various applications. They contain instructions for the program to follow while running, such as options to enable or disable and other user preferences. For instance, SET files can store website home page settings in web browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Additionally, SET files can be used in programs such as Adobe Photoshop, which use them to store the default workspace layouts.
Similar File Types
The SET file type is similar to other configuration settings files such as .CFG, .INI, and .DAT. These alternative file types are also used by several programs to store external settings.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SET) 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 .SET 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 .SET 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 .SET 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 .SET extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SET file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SET 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 .SET file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SET file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SET file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
