6. From there, navigate to Organize > Folder and search options, choose 'View.' 

7. Next, uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types,' and click ‘Apply’ > ‘OK.’

9. Open the ‘QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery’ folder and copy the .QBW.adr file to the QBTest folder.

10. Right-click the .QBW.adr file, select 'Rename,' and delete '.adr' from the file name.

11. Launch QuickBooks and open the company file from the QBTest folder.

12. Verify the data integrity by going to File > Utilities > Verify Data.

13. Move the damaged corporate file to a new location and move the QBTest copy back to the original location if the recovered file is good.
