You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .qpf. Files with the file extension .qpf can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .qpf files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .qpf file?
The Quartus II Project File is stored in the QPF format and is affixed with the QPF extension, and is used by the Quartus II program. These QPF files are generally classified as data files that contain data related to a single design analysis project and information about the current version of the Quartus II software and all the revisions created for the project. These project ?les are plain text ?les and can be edited with any editor. These files are only generated after creating a new project bundled with settings file. In general QPF files do not contain any information compared to other files generated by Quartus II project. For creating projects, the software includes a Project Wizard to help create a new project and assign basic settings easily. The New Project Wizard command can be found in the Edit menu. The Altera Quartus II software can be used in Microsoft Windows based systems and Linux to access and open the stored in these QPF files.
how to open a .qpf file?
Launch a .qpf 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 .qpf file will open it.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .qpf 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, .qpf. 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.
