Which editor do I use for the provxml files (unlock)

[Guest]

Hi,

I followed the instructions regarding unlocking the SPV and I have stumbled on the simplest step of all.

Two files have to be editted and they are both .provxml files and I don't know what to use to edit them, I have tried several options (including word, notepad, html etc.) and they don't save the files in the original format.

So could anyone help me please?

Thanks

C Drive: left click the file icon - enter properties and disable read-only. You can then use the notepad to edit and save to same file.

After the files have been changed - re-enable read-only.

The program every one seems to use is Notepad.

ok getting really confused now. everytime i alter the files, they are saving as a text document rather than an xml file. what am i doing wrong?

[Guest martin]

Do you mean it wants to save as .txt rather than same file name ?

If so...

Use notepad to edit the XML document that you copied to C drive and then use File - Save (not save as).

Also remember that prior to saving, you must first disable the read-only attribute in the file properties to ALLOW the file to be overwritten.

(left click file icon)
