DOCUMENT:Q117249 06-FEB-2002 [homemm] TITLE :Mac Encarta 94: List and Description of Files Installed with E PRODUCT :Microsoft Home Multimedia Titles PROD/VER:: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Encarta 1994 The Complete Multimedia Encyclopedia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== This article lists and briefly describes each of the files and folders that are installed with Encarta. The information is organized by folder. Files are listed under the folders into which the files are installed. Files are single-underlined and folders are double-underlined. NOTE: Some system folders listed here are present only with System version 7.1.0 or later. SYSTEM FOLDER: EXTENSIONS ------------------------- QuickTime 1.6.2: QuickTime 1.6.2 (or later) is necessary for Encarta 1994 to run. Sound Manager 3.0: Some Macintoshes have Sound Manager 3.0 built in, and others do not. If Sound Manager 3.0 is not already present, the Setup program installs it. Sound Manager 3.0 (or later) is necessary for Encarta to run. SYSTEM FOLDER: CONTROL PANELS ----------------------------- Sound Control Panel: If the Setup program installs Sound Manager 3.0, it also installs version 8.0.1 of the Sound control panel. This control panel is not necessary for Encarta to run, but is fully compatible with Encarta and Sound Manager 3.0. SYSTEM FOLDER: FONTS -------------------- V Lucida Sans Font Series: Encarta uses custom fonts to cover all the special characters that are necessary to accurately display content from around the world. Encarta will not run without the V Lucida Sans fonts installed. SYSTEM FOLDER: PREFERENCES -------------------------- MindMaze Preferences: This file contains high scores and other preferences for MindMaze. SYSTEM FOLDER: PREFERENCES: MINDMAZE SAVED GAMES ------------------------------------------------ This new subfolder contains game-status files. When you quit MindMaze, the status of your game is saved in this folder, in a file that is titled with your name. This file contains which questions you have answered already so that you don't get asked them again. (Each player's file is less than 4K in length.) SYSTEM FOLDER: PREFERENCES: ENCARTA 1994 PREFERENCES ---------------------------------------------------- This new subfolder contains the following files: Encarta Preferences: Encarta stores various Encarta settings (such as window locations, sound preferences, and so on) in this file. If you delete this file, Encarta will create a new one containing default preferences. This file is created when you first run Encarta. Encarta BookmarkSet: This file stores any bookmarks or notes you create in Encarta using the Bookmark or Create Note feature. If you delete this file, you will lose any bookmarks or notes you have made. This file is created when you first run Encarta. EncartaFileLocations: This is a text file that contains the various paths to Encarta components. This file is particularly useful if you have created a network installation and moved the Encarta components around because you can specify their new locations. EncartaTitleCache: This 1.4 MB file is installed to improve the performance of Encarta. If you don't want to keep this file in your Preferences folder, you can move it to another location. Just make sure you update the EncartaFileLocations file (using TeachText or another text processor) to point to the correct path. If you don't want the Encarta TitleCache installed at all, you can use the Encarta Installer to do a custom installation, and choose not to install the cache file. Encarta will then use the Encarta TitleCache from the CD, which is considerably slower. ENCARTA 1994 ------------ Microsoft Encarta 1994: This is the Encarta program. Double-click it to start Encarta. MindMaze: This is an alias to the MindMaze game program, which resides on the Encarta 1994 CD-ROM. The alias is included so that if you don't have enough memory to run both Encarta and MindMaze at the same time, you have an easy way to run MindMaze. Animation Launcher: This small program was included in case you don't have enough memory to run Encarta and the animations at the same time. It's a convenient way to browse through Encarta's animations. You do not need this file to run the animations inside Encarta. It is only for running animations when Encarta is not running. Encarta Projector: This is the program that plays Encarta's animations when Encarta is running. Encarta requires this file to be able to play animations. Encarta Spelling: This file is used by Encarta's Spell Check feature, which you can access from the Contents window in Encarta. Microsoft Multimedia Catalog: This is an alias to a catalog of other Macintosh CD-ROM titles available from Microsoft. TeachText: This is Apple's basic text processing program. The Encarta Setup program installs this just in case it is not already present on your system. TeachText is necessary for reading the readme files. Encarta 1994 Read Me: This document contains additional information about Encarta. It is not necessary to keep it on your hard drive, so after reading it you can delete it. Encarta & Memory Read Me: This file contains information about using Encarta 1994 under various memory configurations. You can delete this file when you are done reading it.
