Hi.

Do you mean the files are saved with the *.txt extension? If so just rename it [emoji14]

the line newcamd.list is already attached on my email, when i download it to my usb to put it in the wooshbuild, the line saves as notepad, or did, now they wont open saying these can modify or damage your system.
i clicked on the 'always' open with notepad by mistake and now nothing is opening.

What you have told windoze to do is always use notepad to open all files with a *.list extension. I assume the file has been supplied by your provider and contains all the required info so I am unsure why you are trying to open it. Simply transfer the newcamd.list (without tampering with it) to your box and all should work fine!

We seem to be going around in circles.

Delete the file you've tried to open and download a fresh copy from your email and DON'T OPEN IT!!! Then simply drag and drop it to your USB stick? If this is what you are trying to do, what error do you get when transferring it?

i have tried that, file is downloading as winrar now, no error tranfering, just saves as winrar file and it wont open,
i am using firefox, could that be the problem

So it's a .rar file

Right click on the file and choose, if you have that option, unzip or extract. The file that comes out of it is the file you need to transfer to the box.

If you can't unzip/extract the file, download 7zip or winrar. But Windows 10 shouldt have a build in zip program. So you shouldt also be able to extract the rar with a right click and choose open with. Then you see the options also.
