How to record with full native object names generated

I have some scripts whose objects were recorded under 8.7, which were converted to 9.3. I would like to have my new script objects generated with full objects names instead of Aliases... In researching this, it appears that the Tools|Options Use extended find when possible is the key; all you have to do is uncheck it.  However, the documentation says that this will work for NEW projects and does not effect existing projects.  The item is gray - not changeable - and is checked. 



So How does one go about changing this for recording new added tests and updating existing ones where full object names are generated?



Thanks.

    Hi Harlan,

     


    The Use extended find when possible option works for a different situation. Actually, the option you need is Map object names automatically. When this option is checked, TestComplete maps recorded objects and addresses to them via Aliases. However, judging by your screenshot, this option is disabled in your project. In this case, could you please post here the desired and actual test recorded by TestComplete.
