Notes about the PIZ 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 PIZ file type is primarily associated with 'Renamed Zip File'. In order to get around some E-mail attachment blockers tuned to block out the .ZIP file extension some have taken to renaming the file with a .PIZ extension (.ZIP backwards). Use any unzipping utility after renaming the file. Look at the file in an editor (do NOT save the file from the editor) and see if it has the characteristic PK characters as the first characters in the file to confirm the file is really a ZIP file.

Cannot access PIZ files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open PIZ 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.
