[WT-support] Super Check Partial and hidden folder/files

Wed May 19 17:04:15 CEST 2010

I have not used super check partial before and tried before WPX phone to get 
it loaded but could not get it to work.
The purpose of this email is to help those who have not been successful 
using a step by step approch for WT4 running Windows XP.

After reading 
http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Check_Partial_and_Np1_Files#Location>of

and still unable to figure out how to make the folder and files visible (yes 
they are hidden in XP), you need to do the following:

1.press Start in lower left screen on Windows XP
2. press All Programs
3.press Accessories
4. press Windows Explorer
5. press My Computer
6. press Local Disk (C:) twice  (double click)
7.press Documents and Settings twice (double click)
8. press All Users twice
9. If you see Application Data folder put Master SCP or what ever file you 
want for Super Check Partial in that folder.  Most likely you will  not see 
it so proceed to step 10. press Tools on the top of All Users folder
11. press folder options
12. press View
13. under Advanced Settings press the Show hidden files and folders
14. press Apply to All Folders
15. press Yes when the folder vies message comes on screen
16. press OK and you are done.
17. you are now on All Users folder screen and you should see Application 
Data folder visible.  Put Master SCP file there.  www.supercheckpartial.com

note master.scp for WinTest is the last one listed under Master Files on the 
Web Page

73 and hope this helps, Paul K8PO
