First, make sure that you know where your JPL File (automatically
created during the installation process) is located. Then follow these
steps:

  • Depending on your Windows© settings, the location should be indicated
    when you put your cursor on the JPL icon, i.e.: Location:
    C\\JPL_System_Version2003
  • If not, then you can find the location of the JPL folder by going to the icon,
    right clicking to open the context menu.
  • Choose "properties"
  • Choose the shortcut tab
  • Look at the "start in" field to see where the folder is located.
  • Close (cancel)
  • Select a free spot on your desktop
  • Right click with your mouse to open the context menu
  • Go to "new"
  • Choose "shortcut"  (top)
  • Click
  • The "create shortcut" window will open
  • Click  on "browse"
  • Open "my computer"
  • Open Local Disk C (or alternative, if applicable)

    and "playground" versions.
  • Open the JPL system folder
  • Choose your "Budget_yourfile_.xls"
