On this dialog you will find the <b>Explore</b> button. The <b>Explore</b> button opens a regular Windows Explorer window as a convenience so you can add files to your distribution folder.</p><p>Since you can only select external references located in your distribution folder use the <b>Explore</b> button to add files to your distribution folder. You will not be able to select a file from the Explorer window, instead you will have to copy or move the file into your distribution folder.</p><p>To copy a file into your distribution folder, browse for a file in the Explorer windows that comes up when you pressed the <b>Explore</b> button. Once you have found the file that you want, right-click on it, and hold the mouse button down. Drag the mouse cursor onto the <i>Distribution Folder</i> dialog so that the actual distribution folder is highlighted. Now release the right mouse button and a context menu will be displayed. Select "Copy Here" and your file will be copied into the distribution folder.</p><p>To move a file into the distribution folder, follow the above instructions but instead of right-clicking on the file, left-click. Alternatively you can follow the instructions for copying a file and select "Move Here" in the context menu.</p><p><b>Tip: </b> If it appears that you have moved/copied a file into the distribution folder but it is not visible, try double-clicking on the actual distribution folder, or press the <b>Refresh</b> button.</p><p>Once you have added the file to your distribution folder, select it and press the <b>OK</b> button.</p><h3>MORE INFORMATION</h3><p>For more information please see the following topics in the AutoPlay Media Studio 4.0 Help:</p><li><b>User's Guide | Chapter 5: Projects | The Distribution Folder</b></li><p>KEYWORDS: AutoPlay Media Studio 4.0, Explore Button, Distribution Folder</p><hr><FONT SIZE=1>Last reviewed: October 22, 2002<br>Copyright © 2002 <A HREF="http://www.indigorose.com" target="blank">Indigo Rose Corporation</a>.
