Open U3P File
A file with the extension U3P is a portable application stored on a U3 Smart Drive.
The U3 is a special type of USB flash drive that includes the U3 Launchpad platform.
In this case, the U3P file contains program executables and configuration data and allows you to run a program from the flash drive on any Windows computer and can install some files on the local computer if necessary.
U3P files are saved in a compressed ZIP format.
Such U3P files can contain four directories: data, device, host, and manifest.
The U3 Launchpad is often installed on U3 smart drives from manufacturers such as SanDisk, Verbatim, Kingston, Memorex, and Intuix.
U3P programs are available from a user interface that is similar to the Windows Start menu.
Because it is a program and executable format (EXE), then it is compatible only with Windows-based operating systems.
Importantly, the SanDisk U3 Launchpad program has been discontinued and is no longer supported.
Open a U3P file
Normally, this type of file runs as soon as the USB Flash drive is inserted into the computer, however, it can also be opened manually through compression software, although the latter is not recommended.
Software to open a U3P file
Because they are compressed files, WinZip is the most widely used program to handle such files, since it supports U3P.
