Which program should you use?
Your computer may be trying to use the wrong program to open the DS_STORE file, or it may not have a program installed that can open the file. There are a few different programs you can use to open DS_STORE files, including Macintosh OSX Folder Information. Try downloading one or more of these from the manufacturer’s website.
What type of file is it?
The file type is the key to opening DS_STORE files. DS_STORE files are usually considered Settings Files. You may already have a program on your computer that can open this type of file.
If the file type is unknown, you can find it in the file properties by following the steps below.
Windows:
- Right-click the file and click “Properties”.
- Look under “Type of File” for the file type.
Mac:
- Right-click the file and click “Properties".
- Look under “Kind” for the file type.
Who developed the software?
If you can’t find the right program to open your DS_STORE file, a software developer might be able to help you. Contact the developer of one of the most common programs for DS_STORE files from the list below.
| Software | Developer | |
|---|---|---|
| Macintosh OSX Folder Information | is developed by | Apple Inc. |
Why not try a universal file viewer?
A universal file viewer is a program that can open files with a wide range of extensions, depending on the file format. When you have DS_STORE files you can’t open, a universal file viewer like File Magic (Download) can open it for you. Just remember that some files aren’t compatible with this type of program, and they will only open in binary format.
