What is a .HTB file?
The .HTB file extension is associated with Audacity, which is a program that allows you to edit sound for free. The .HTB file is a type of help file that Audacity uses. It contains a collection of files that are meant to help users understand how to use Audacity. These files include Windows help files, .HTML files which are web pages, and images. All of these are packed together in a compressed form to make it easier to store and use. When you need help in Audacity, you go to the Help menu and select Contents, and the information from the .HTB file is shown to you.
To open a .HTB file, you just need Audacity. Since Audacity knows how to handle these files, it can open and display the help information contained in them directly.
More interestingly, .HTB files are actually saved in a format similar to .ZIP files, which are a common type of file used to compress and store multiple files together. Because of this, if you change the name of the file from ending in .HTB to ending in .zip, you can open the .HTB file with any program that can open .ZIP files. This means you can see all the individual files inside the .HTB file, like the help documents and images, by using a ZIP decompression utility, which is a program designed to open and extract files from a .ZIP file.
