Accessing Windows Explorer - Part 2

Having access to Explorer through the Games menu is good, but not necessarily the most convenient - it is only accessible if the SD card is inserted. To make access to Explorer a little bit more permanent, we need to add it to the on-board flash.

Before editing files in the "Flash Disk" directory, I recommend copying the entire contents of the folder to the SD card. Next, transfer the "Flash Disk" contents from the SD card to your PC.

Find the IGOPATH.TXT file. This file contains the configuration information for the main menu and multimedia menu; it is formatted much the same way as the addons.txt file, the contents are:
[pre_init]LangSyncOn = "\\flash disk\\langsync.exe"[pre_quit]LangSyncOff = "\\flash disk\\langsync.exe"[modules]Settings = "icons/settings.bmp",  "settings", 1Multimedia = "icons/media.bmp",  "Multimedia", 0[Multimedia]Picture= "",  "\\Flash DIsk\\XImage\\XImage.exe"Movie= "",  "\\Flash DIsk\\XMovie\\XMovie.exe"Music= "",  "\\Flash DIsk\\XMp3\\XMp3.exe"

Again, just add the line
Explorer= "",  "\\"
to the end of the file. Copy the modified file back to the SD card and save it to the "Flash Disk" folder on the V7 device (overwrite the original). The explorer menu option will now appear in the Multimedia menu. You can now restore addons.txt to its original form.
