Hi PyMOLers Seems like it is somewhat difficult to create a .pymolrc file in Windows (whatever version). The standard Windows explorer file browser simply doesn't accept this as a filename.
The workaround is to call the file something else, eg. pymolrc.txt and put the desired commands in it using Notepad. The file must be saved in C:\Program Files\DeLano Scientific\PyMOL\ Then open a terminal (command) window by running Start/Run and type cmd (win2000/XP) or command (Windows 98/ME). Then change to the correct directory and rename the file: cd "c:\Program Files\DeLano Scientific\PyMOL" ren pymolrc.txt .pymolrc That should do the trick! You can edit the file aftrewards by right-clicking it and choose "open with"/"Notepad". Cheers, Esben
