File Extension CAN

File type: Encrypted File

The CAN file type is primarily associated with '.Can Encryptor/Decryptor'. .Can is a way of encrypting your files, so they can not be viewed or accessed without decanning them. They can either just be canned or cancoded. The cancode is a 5 digit code that can be entered before canning and then has to be entered again when decanning. It's been reported that if the file has not been coded that a simple rename to the original file name will allow the file to be opened by the appropriate archive program (e.g., RAR, ZIP, etc.).

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

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

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