Q: How can I eliminate the PRG "attachment" from my SET file?
Plagued by the persistent PRG file that has somehow attached itself to the SET file? This sometimes occurs when new users are learning the ETS2k software and "check all boxes" when uploading vectors and saving SET files. There is a simple solution to removing this attachment so that you are no longer prompted for the PRG file.

When saving the SET file or uploading vector files, click on "Browse..." next to the Program File Name:

No PRG step one

The Program File window then appears. In the Program File window, enter only ".PRG" as the filename:

No PRG step two

Click on "Save", then answer "Yes" when prompted:

No PRG step three

Next, in "Save SET file & Upload Vectors" window, save only the SET and TRN file. Be sure to uncheck the box in the Program File Name section:

No PRG step four

The PRG file is now no longer associated with the SET file! But remember, the PRG file may still exist on your hard drive. You need to delete it from the Windows Explorer.
