that are on my desktop....or at least move them to my ES folder. If I delete them ES just reproduces them again.

 

Euroscope_sector_providers.txt

SectorFileProviderDescriptor.txt

 

 

thanks,

Where is your EuroScope.exe file?

ES is located in the folder E:\Program Files\Euroscope.

I have on my Desktop the shortcut to Euroscope and a Batch file that I use to launch two instances of ES. Batch file below.

 

--------------------------------

 

START "ES1" "E:\Program Files\EuroScope\EuroScope.exe" "E:\Program Files\EuroScope\CANscope\CZYZ IFR.prf"

 

ping localhost -n 15 > nul

 

START "ES2" "E:\Program Files\EuroScope\EuroScope.exe" "E:\Program Files\EuroScope\CANscope\CZYZ VFR.prf"

 

EX

Well that is your problem, delete the two files, start the ES without the batch file and you will not have the file. ES thinks that it's exe folder is your Desktop so it downloads it's files there.

You should change directory within the batch file to the folder where your ES files are. For example, if the correct place for those files on your system is "E:\Program Files\Euroscope", add the line

CD "E:\Program Files\Euroscope"

to the top of your batch file.

 

That may work (?)

Thanks for the advice I will give that a try. As you can probably tell I am not a programmer.

FIXED!

 

The change directory line did not work. I had to move the actual batch file to my Euroscope directory and then on my desktop make a shortcut to the batch file. The two txt files are now in the ES directory. Problem resolved, thanks for the help.
