alice-teacher Question about Strange Behavior -- Alice 2.2

[Don Slater]

Yes, you might try that, particularly if you use WinZip, not the built in Windows compressor… Speaking of that. Does Windows 7 have a setting in which it automatically expands compressed files, and these machines have that turned on, and others do not. I am trying to figure out why it is happening to some and not to others…

Keep us posted,

Thanks,
Don

When they are saving the object, have they selected the Files of Type: option as "A2C (Alice Object Files)", and not "All Files"?
