How to Open Scrap Files

1. Move the scrap file to your computer's desktop, if it is not already stored there.
2. Click 'Start,' 'All Programs' and 'Accessories.'
3. Click 'WordPad.'
4. Resize the WordPad application's window so a portion of your computer's desktop is showing.
5. Click and drag the scrap file into WordPad. The file's text content will open in the WordPad application. Do not double-click the file--the file may launch in the application it originated from and open the file it is related to.
6. View the scrap file's text content. If an icon appears in WordPad instead of the file's text content, right-click the icon and select 'Package Object/Edit Package' to view the scrap file's contents.
