The hpc file extension is mainly related to Hewlett-Packard fonts. The file is also used by Microsoft Windows CE Services, more specific by Microsoft ActiveSync when performing file conversions between Pocket PC formats (PWI) and Windows formats (RTF).
In this context, it is created by a certain function in ceutil.dll before the conversion actually takes place. It is then mapped as a memory mapped file and further accessed as a memory area by all Pocket PC to RTF conversion DLLs. It is used as a global storage pool to exchange information between various ActiveSync modules.
Deleting it does no harm. It will be created automatically, until next conversion or synchronization with Pocket PC. Unfortunately Microsoft didn't include a delete routine in their clean-up code.

Hi-Pic Creator was a picture image editor for the Commodore 64, an 8-bit computer developed by Commodore. Its hpc files contain images created by the editor.
The images are 320 x 200 pixels and use 16 colors. The format is obsolete and is no longer commonly used. RECOIL, a multiplatform retro-computer image viewer and converter, supports these files.
Use RECOIL to open an hpc file. RECOIL runs on multiple platforms and can display this obsolete Commodore 64 image format.
RECOIL can be used to convert an hpc file to another image format supported by the program.
