Mooly,
I carefully read your instructions, and could not fully understand any of it......
I am something of a muffet since my stroke, particularly with software, but I will spend a few hours on this yet.
Bimo,
I tried running as an administrator in Notepad and LTSpice and no dice. Very odd.
Tony,
I set up a separate sub-directory called extra and it sticks. BUT, I cannot pick out my models from them as I'm reluctant to put all the project directories - BTW I have one directory for all my projects - and this would be prohibitive, would it not? I guess you mean putting in an edit script to see the component model and then pull it in?
Conclusion: This is very difficult to use with Windows 7 OS, which fights you at every move, treating you as an interloper, preventing change. The default is NOT administrator, which is very irritating. Since my PC was recently attacked by a crypto-virus I have found using my LTSpice very difficult, despite reinstalling and rebuilding all lost files from backup. Only by having two large HDD and three logical HDDs could I recover most of it. It a bind since I use LTSpice constantly; it's a wonderful tool.
Thanks for the help, I will get there, if you have any ideas, I'm all ears.......
Hugh
