VCP Question

Ok. I am sure this is just a super simple thing but I can't find the answer. I have been bench testing my new setup. This is my first Acorn installation. When I press the "X" in the bottom lower corner of the VCP it shuts off the VCP. I assume. In any case it disappears. I can not figure out how to restore it. The manual doesn't appear to cover the VCP. I have to restart CNC12 to get it back. Like I said I'm sure this is a no brainer. What is the purpose of this feature?
Thanks,
Andy

You could "pin" the VCP program to the taskbar, then just click to re-activate.

The VCP is a separate application? I would not have assumed that since it starts and shuts down with the cnc12 application. So I still don’t understand the reason for the button. Is it shutting it down or possibly unpinning it and moving it under the main application for some reason?

Shinosky,

yes the VCP is a separate app and clicking the x does what all Windows Apps do when you click it; it closes the application.

If you look at the executables in the C:\cncm folder. it's not difficult to find the executable of the VCP; it's called VirtualControlPanel.exe.

Just double click it and the VCP will restart.
