When an application directory is created in InTouch, a set of data files is created to be used by WindowMaker and WindowViewer. Each application created must be in a separate directory. Unless specifically instructed by Wonderware personnel, do not, under any circumstances, edit these files.

| *.?BK | All files ending with .?BK are backup files. InTouch creates backup files |
| of all edited files. All backup files can be deleted when the application is | |
| complete. This will free up disk space and make the application | |
| directory smaller for making backups or transporting an application. |

Certain InTouch files may be deleted to conserve disk space. Typically, any files whose extensions end in BK (e.g., .cbk) may be deleted by specifying a delete of *.?BK in one of the file manipulation utilities (e.g., Winfile or Explorer). Because WindowViewer always compiles a fresh .wvw file for each new version of the .win files, all of the .wvw files can be deleted and new .wvw files will be compiled from the existing .win files when WindowViewer is launched. Depending on how the application was configured, historical log files and alarm log files can be stored in the application directory. If the log files are unnecessary, all files ending with .LGH and .IDX (historical log files) can be removed. Most of the files remaining are essential to an application and should be left alone. If further size reduction is desired, a compression utility can be used (e.g., PKZip or WinZip) or a backup utility can be used to condense and store the application. When using one of the zip programs, it is recommended to convert the zipped file into a self-extracting zip file by running zip2exe or the equivalent. This will insure that the recipient of the application has the correct unzip version
