You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .paq6. Files with the file extension .paq6 can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .paq6 files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .paq6 file?
Files with the PAQ6 extension are known as PAQ6 Data Archives because they refer to the compressed file archives that PAQ version 6 created. PAQ is a reliable data compression archiver that most users use to backup their files and other data saved in the computer to a disk. This is to save the files from a failing computer. PAQ and other compression archivers enable users to compress a large file so that it could fit into disks and it wouldn’t be hard for them to transfer the files to another computer. The PAQ software is also used to archive files for email delivery purposes. PAQ has a series of versions already and PAQ6 is one. Obviously, PAQ6 is the sixth version of PAQ and this is the application that mainly uses PAQ6 files. PAQ6 files can be opened using PAQ6 or its later versions, WinUDA as well as KGB.
how to open a .paq6 file?
Launch a .paq6 file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .paq6 file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .paq6 files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .paq6 file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .paq6 file will open the correct application.

PAQ 6
PAQ 6
PAQ 6 is one of the lossless data compression archiver that belongs to the PAQ series. This utility can run on various operating systems like Windows, Linux, and UNIX and it has earned the reputation as one of the top data compression archivers when it comes to memory and speed. This sixth version of PAQ is mainly aimed for fostering the development of algorithms and data models that are expected to be better. PAQ 6 has the ability to assume that if the archive already exists, users would want to extract them but it can also perform comparison and reporting to determine whether the files are similar especially if the files to be extracted also exist along with the files to be compressed. This PAQ version also features conversion versus memory and speed trade off and this also comes with upgraded versions such as PAQ6V2 which has added ability especially when it comes to correctly decompressing files that the PAQ6 compressed.
a word of warning
Be careful not to rename the extension on .paq6 files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .paq6. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
