You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .ar7. Files with the file extension .ar7 can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .ar7 files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .ar7 file?
An AR7 archive file contains one or more files that are integrated with AR7 compression specifications, which are used to reduce the collective size of the files stored in the AR7 archive file. An AR7 archive file can also be used to store directories and sub directories with several files, and these directory library can be compressed and stored in one AR7 archive file. The content of an AR7 archive file is integrated with data encoding standards that are used to store an archive or compressed file in the AR7 file format. These AR7 archive files are affixed with the .ar7 extension, and many file compression and decompression tools can be used to create these AR7 archive files as well as decompress and access the content stored in these AR7 archive files. Some text editors can also be used to open and view the content of these AR7 archive files.

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, .ar7. 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.
