GPL- Core.ini

As referred to in a previous post, my core.ini is a SAMPLE file, not an .ini file. How do I make it an .ini file, and thus enabling FF? A simple right-click and rename wouldn't do it... TIA -- Colin Harris Proud co-owner - CLONE N.Legends league http://members.chello.se/clone/index.htm

Open "My Computer", select "view" from toolbar, click "folder options", selct "view" tab, UNCHECK box for "Hide file extensions for known file types" , click "apply" and " OK". Then you'll be able to rename the file using the regular rename function. David "Colin Harris" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

See, that's what I thought, but that ain't doing the trick. I'm renaming it core.ini, and it's calling itself core.ini.SAMPLE. It's listed as an archive file, but I've tried various properties, with the same result...

Firstly, Colin, ensure that it is read-write enabled. Then simply remove the last "dot" and the word "sample". Then save the file. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Colin Harris <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

All I did was open them both in Notepad and copy/paste the contents of the sample file into the ini file. Regards, Brett C. Cammack That's Racing! Motorsports Pompano Beach, FL

That's very odd indeed! I've tried to replicate your situation but without (thankfull;y!) any success.........I can rename the archive, no problem at all. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Colin Harris <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I copied another .ini file to core.ini and then removed everything and pasted in what I wanted. I just hate "user friendliness". When I say rename this file to this, I actually mean that.

Actually the problem is not GPL-related but entirely windows-98, that, with some settings, refuses to rename the extension of a file. You can change this in the explorer-setting, uncheck "never rename known-file-types", and you're done.

Open core.ini.sample in Notepad and Save as, Make sure the save as type is all files then rename the file core.ini See, that's what I thought, but that ain't doing the trick.
