Using the Recovery Point Browser, you can open files within a recovery point. The file opens in the program that is associated with that file type. You can also restore files either by saving them using the application associated with them, or by using the Recover Files button in the Recovery Point Browser.
If the file type is not associated with a program, the Microsoft Open With dialog box is displayed. You can then select the correct program for opening the file.
