.SCC File

File extension scc is nowadays mostly related to Visual SourceSafe. This program uses the VSSVer.scc to speed up the GET process (Fast GET) on any database, even one that is not in the new format supported by Visual SourceSafe.

There is no way to prevent Visual SourceSafe from creating this file when performing an explicit or implicit GET operation. Setting the file's Hidden attribute, however, does not affect performance and can be used to prevent the file from appearing in Windows Explorer.

Files with scc extension are quite often found as part of Visual SourceSafe which generates and uses them for some kind of control purpose.

How to open:

It seems that this type of *.scc files is only usable in Visual SourceSafe.

How to convert:

There appears to exist no way how to convert Visual SourceSafe *.scc files to any other format.
