7.1 Starting the Explorer
Use the following shortcut to launch the Explorer:
Start|Programs|Barco Apollo|Explorer.
7.2 Explorer User Interface
The Explorer offers access to all functions of the Apollo applications Device Manager, Remote Desktop, and
Layout Selector.
7.2.1 Default settings
A vertically split window with menu bar, tool bar, and status bar opens when the Explorer is launched for the
first time after installation. You can customize this view and the Explorer opens with the modified view when
launched again.
Delete the AolloExplorer.ini file located in the user-specific folder to reset the user
interface!
Windows NT: …./Winnt/Profiles/User/Local Settings/Apollo/ApolloExplorer.ini
Windows 2000: …/Documents and Settings/User/Local
Settings/Apollo/ApolloExplorer.ini.
Exit the Explorer before resetting!
The Explorer user interface is then set back to the default settings when launched again.
7.2.2 Split window
All objects of an Apollo Project are listed in an object tree. A selected object is displayed in the workspace (sec-
ond pane of window), either in the form of a list with name and type or graphically (mini window).
Use the context menu (right mouse click) to control the selected object within the workspace.
