[WT-support] Win Test file location issues

[Dave Sharred]

Just tried to look at the archives; and the Wiki; but I can't sort out the
right way to do this.

I installed WT4 just before our S79K trip; and only now have found a few
problems.  
(PC is running WIN 7  64 Bit)

First, it looks like when we created the actual contest file, we put it in
the root directory of C drive.   Why can I not see it in Explorer? I tried
to set the PC to show hidden files, but no luck.

I looked in WinTest; the WT Explorer shows the same view - I don't see the
log files (nor any other files that I created; like the Log files. I ended
up saving these to a USB Stick)

If I am in WT, and do File Open, I see the working WT files and .BAK files.
These files have Locks on them; so somehow they are secure files. How can I
see them, and move them to somewhere sensible? How can I see any other files
that may be there too ??


Next , to fix this problem once and for all.   In WT V3, I kept all of my
log files in Libraries/Documents/Win Test.   I had intended to do the same
here.   So IN WT / Options/ Log/ New contest Files properties ; I wanted to
change the locations.  But I can't navigate to the Libraries area!  What am
I doing wrong ?

If I can't get to the libraries files, I think I will use a "logs " file
under Wintest (which is of course in the Program files (x86) area.

Incidentally - is it realised that   You need to have a log open before you
can edit the New Contest Files Properties?  This option is not available
without an open log !

Apologies if all of these issues have been covered before
