Notes about the APE file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The APE file type is primarily associated with 'Monkey's Audio' by Matthew T. Ashland. Monkey’s Audio is a way to compress digital music. Unlike traditional methods that permanently discard quality to save space, Monkey’s Audio only makes perfect, bit-for-bit copies of your music. This file is usually matched with an .APL pointer to the .APE file.

Cannot access APE files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open APE files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
