The .SHS file is an archived file format developed by Microsoft primarily used attach or embed shell integrated documents to emails or otherwise electronically transmit data. Files of this type are typically compressed with encryption, and when sent via email are not viewable without the recipient attaching them to their computer.
Technical Details
A typical SHS file entry is easily recognizable, as it starts with 'shell scrap object'. The formatting of the content within the document follows Microsoft's Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) structure. It provides a means for windows programs written in C or Visual Basic to access object information; these objects may include text, files, audio, video, and pictures. SHS files are secured from internal elements used by Windows that can be exploited by malicious software and are encoded.
Similar File Extensions
The SHS format is related to other Microsoft file extensions such as .DOC, .DOCX, .DOT, .PPS, and .POT.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SHS) 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 .SHS 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 .SHS 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 .SHS 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 .SHS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SHS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SHS 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 .SHS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SHS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SHS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
