Paths

Default Maps & Data Path

Tap to specify the default folder to display when using the Open Map or Add Layer tool. This is also the path that ArcPad will search for the map ArcPad.apm on startup. If ArcPad.apm is present, it will be automatically loaded when ArcPad starts.

The default is the My Documents folder.

System Files Path

Tap to specify the default folder to search for system files used by ArcPad. Change this setting only if your system files have been moved to a different folder after installing ArcPad. You can only specify one system files path.

The default is the system folder, C:\Program Files\ArcPad 8.0\System.

Other Additional Paths

Choose the type of path that needs to be set: Applets, Styles, or Extensions paths. Enter the path, or tap to browse for the path.

Choose Applets to specify the directory name for the applets folder(s). ArcPad will search the default Applets path as well as the specified folder(s) for applet files to automatically load when ArcPad starts.

The default is the Applets folder below the installation folder.

Choose Styles to specify the directory name for the styles folder(s). ArcPad will search the default Styles path as well as the specified folder(s) for style files to automatically load when ArcPad starts.

The default is the Styles folder below the installation folder.

Choose Extensions to specify the directory name for the extensions folder(s). ArcPad will search the default Extensions path as well as the specified folder(s) for extension files to automatically load when ArcPad starts.

The default is the Extensions folder below the installation folder.

You can specify multiple folders for the Default Maps & Data, Applets, Styles, and Extensions paths by separating the folders with a semicolon. For example, you can specify the Applets path as the following:

C:\Program Files\ArcPad 8.0\Applets;D:\MyApplets
