File extension PARTIAL (.PARTIAL) information

Windows cannot open PARTIAL files?

If Windows is unable to open PARTIAL files you may not have the appropriate program installed or may have a registry related error. The .PARTIAL file extension is associated with download utilities and may relate to broken or unfinished downloads. Many download utilities will store fragments of a downloading file in a file with the .PARTIAL file extension: once the download is completed the file will either show normally in the appropriate folder, or be executed by the relevant application. As such you shouldn't need to open a .PARTIAL file directly. Scan your system to prevent and identify association errors.
