Accessing Congo Windows Background in V5

Hi there -

Just curious - for what purpose do you need to get into Windows Explorer?

Thanks -

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

I have made a  file on the congo with the layout and patch of my theatre's house lighting rig.  The theatre is a university theatre and the lighting console is used by many different students and outside users each week. It is what we call our system reset file and to avoid it being recorded over and altered I have made it a read only file so that users are forced to "save as" instead of just saving over the file which would mean the original file on the hardrive being lost.  There may be times however where I may have to make changes to this file and need to temporarily disable the read only option which, it seems, I can only do by browsing the files through windows.  Also, I can't seem to delete folders containing numerous play files within the Congo browser.  Hope that all makes sense.

Cheers,
