Note
• Using ClassPad Window to open an fl s or mcs fi le will convert it automatically to a vcp fi le. For
more information, see “To open an old version mcs or fl s fi le” on page E-24.
• Double-clicking an fl s or mcs fi le in any Windows folder also will convert it to a vcp fi le, which is
added to the folder that contains the original fi le.
• You can also convert an fl s or mcs fi le to a vcp fi le by dropping it into the Exchange Window.
• No matter what procedure you use to convert an fl s or mcs fi le to a vcp fi le, both the original fi le
and the conversion result will be available.
Handling Individual Data (xcp) Files
In addition to the virtual ClassPad (vcp) fi les described up to this point, ClassPad Manager 3.0 also
allows you handle individual data (xcp) fi les. A vcp fi le contains a set of all the data (eActivity and
all other data) of a single ClassPad unit, while an xcp fi le contains a particular fi le (eActivity fi le,
program fi le, variable fi le, etc.) of a ClassPad unit.
When you double-click an xcp fi le, its data is restored to your Active Document folder. Double-
clicking an eActivity fi le, will start up the eActivity application automatically. This feature enables you
to put individual eActivities into a document and open them directly.
■ To create an individual data (xcp) fi le
1.
On the Exchange Window, click the fi le in the virtual ClassPad that you want to save as an xcp
fi le.
2.
Drag the selected fi le to any folder in Windows Explorer (or the Windows desktop).
• This creates an xcp fi le where you dropped it (folder or Windows desktop).
