The information in this article applies to:
- Scholastic's Magic School Bus series: Explores the Solar System for Windows, version 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
=======
When you install Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System, you are not given
the option to specify the folder in which the program is installed. After you
finish installing the program, however, you can move or change the name of the
folder in which Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System is installed.
The following is the default folder in which Magic School Bus Explores the Solar
System is installed:
C:\Mskids\Msbsolar
If you want to move or change the name of the Msbsolar folder, you must use a
text editor (such as Notepad or WordPad) to edit the Msbsolar.ini file in the
Mskids\Msbsolar folder to reflect the new location or name of the Msbsolar
folder.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The [Media] section of the Msbsolar.ini file contains the following default
entries
[Media]
count=2
mdf1=C:\MSKIDS\MSBSOLAR\MSBAMB.MDF
cmf1=C:\MSKIDS\MSBSOLAR\MSBAMB.CMF
root1=<drive>:\MSBSOLAR\
mdf2=C:\MSKIDS\MSBSOLAR\MSBSOLAR.MDF
cmf2=C:\MSBSOLAR\MSBSOLAR.CMF
root2=C:\MSBSOLAR\
where C is the letter of the hard disk on which Microsoft Windows is installed,
and <drive> is the letter of your CD-ROM drive.
To move the Msbsolar folder from the C:\Mskids folder to the C:\Apps folder, for
example, you must make the following changes to the default entries in the
Msbsolar.ini file
[Media]
count=2
mdf1=<C>:\APPS\MSBSOLAR\MSBAMB.MDF
cmf1=<C>:\APPS\MSBSOLAR\MSBAMB.CMF
root1=<D>:\MSBSOLAR\
mdf2=<C>:\APPS\MSBSOLAR\MSBSOLAR.MDF
cmf2=<D>:\MSBSOLAR\MSBSOLAR.CMF
root2=<D>:\MSBSOLAR\
where C is the letter of the hard disk on which Microsoft Windows is installed,
and <drive> is the letter of your CD-ROM drive.
If You Use Microsoft Windows 95/98
----------------------------------
After you move or change the name of the Msbsolar folder and modify the
Msbsolar.ini file as noted above, Windows 95/98 updates the program item
properties automatically when you start the program.
If You Use Microsoft Windows 3.x
--------------------------------
In Program Manager, you must change the program item properties for the Magic
School Bus - Solar System icon to reflect the new name or location of the
Msbsolar folder. To do this, follow these steps:

2. Click the Magic School Bus - Solar System icon.
3. On the File menu, click Properties.
