What is a R02 file?
R02 is an extension specific to files created by a compressed archive management program called WinRAR. R02 is one of the multi-part archive files that was created in the program. The files that make up such an archive are assigned the following extensions R01, R02, R03, etc. This solution allows you to save large amounts of data on several smaller media. The program allows you to define the maximum size of the elements of a multi-file archive.
To properly extract files from this type of archive, the program must be available to all its parts.

How to open R02 files
If you cannot open the R02 file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports R02 among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the R02 file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the R02 format files
The inability to open and operate the R02 file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed File Archive (part 4) file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a R02 file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the R02 file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the R02 from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the R02 format
- The R02 file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the R02 file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a R02 file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the R02 file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the R02 file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the R02 file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.R02) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected R02 file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the R02 file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. R02) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
