How To Open Pcb File
Many people share .dsn files without attaching instructions on how to use it. Yet it isn’t evident for everyone which program a .dsn file can be edited, converted or printed with. On this page, we try to provide assistance for handling .dsn files.
3 filename extension(s) found in our database.
- PCBDOC files are Altium Designer PCB Document files, which you can read more about below. The PCBDOC file extension indicates to your device which app can open the file. However, different apps may use the same file extension for different types of data.
- Open your.pcb file with a reader which can open the file. Print the file on the virtual PDF24 PDF printer. The PDF24 assistant opens, where you can save as a PDF, email, fax, or edit the new file.
There are two locations in PPT you can try The FILE Options Save AutoRecover Files (and check in this path for files. Here you will see the.pcb files which are unfortunately not your presentation but special files that contain the application settings and data that are used by the software).

Naturally, other applications may also use the .dsn file extension. Even harmful programs can create .dsn files. Be especially cautious with .dsn files coming from an unknown source!
Can't open a .dsn file?
When you double-click a file to open it, Windows examines the filename extension. If Windows recognizes the filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension. When Windows does not recognize a filename extension, you receive the following message:
Windows can't open this file:
example.dsn
To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select one from a list of programs that are installed on your computer.
To avoid this error, you need to set the file association correctly.

PowerPoint add-ins help in adding new capabilities that can polish your presentation in many ways. But when the time comes to uninstall theseadd-ins for whatsoever reason, you might be surprised to find their menu customizations, such as buttonsthat represent add-in features still exist! Click those menu extensions and nothing may happen, but these menu options are still there!
In another scenario, you may have customized your PowerPoint menus and toolbars to a large extent. Now, you want to restore everything to apristine state, almost like how the interface looked when you first installed PowerPoint.
In either case, it is possible to lose all these customizations. The key to this solution lies in PCB files. So what's a PCB file? Let's learnmore.
A PCB file is a PowerPoint Settings file where PowerPoint stores every customization you make within the program interface. These customizations include the appearance of new add-in menus and toolbars.
Whenever PowerPoint launches, it looks for this PCB file within a typical location:
C:Users<UserName>AppDataRoamingMicrosoftPowerPoint

If no PCB file is found, PowerPoint creates a new one! In other words, PowerPoint restores all defaults. Therefore, this creation of a new PCBfile can be put to advantage. First, we need to rename or delete the errant PCB file. Follow these steps to do so:
- Make sure PowerPoint 2016 is closed. Then navigate to the path mentioned below:
- C:Users<UserName>AppDataRoamingMicrosoftPowerPoint
- Substitute <UserName> with the user name set for your computer.
- Within this folder, you will find a PCB file, as shown in Figure 1 below. You may see more than one PCB file here,and this happens if you have multiple versions of Microsoft Office installed on your system. For PowerPoint 2016, the file you need will be namedPPT16.pcb or similar.
Figure 1: PCB file location- Now, you can either delete the PCB file or you can rename it with a .bak or another extension. We highly recommendthat you rename rather than delete the file! For this example we will rename the file with a .bak extension, as shown inFigure 2 below. You can also always delete the PCB file later once a new PCB is created, and everything seems to be working well.
Figure 2: PCB file renamed- Now, launch PowerPoint 2016. It might take a while to load since a new PCB file is being created. At this point of time, get back tothe original folder that contained the PCB file. You'll notice that a new PCB file has been created.
PowerPoint Versions and PCB File Names
The file names of the PCBs indicate which version of PowerPoint they influence:PPT16.pcb relates to PowerPoint 2016
PPT15.pcb relates to PowerPoint 2013
PPT14.pcb relates to PowerPoint 2010
Don’t see the PCB file extension? Your file extensions need to be made visible. To learn more, look at ourShow File Extensions tutorials.
Safely Working with PCB Files
Always keep a backup copy of your PCB file. This backup file may come handy when you want to roll back PowerPoint's customizations to an earlierstage.Also, never rename or delete a PCB file while PowerPoint is still open.
