Navigating the Windows Explorer

Question

I need to test a website that basically exports some settings that I previously set. The file is saved at a specific path that I know and the filename is also known. The issue that I am having now is navigating the Windows Explorer (File Explorer) when I want to import that config file. Is there a better way to do this? and if not how can this be done.

Just to clearify: I press the "Import" Button and the Explorer opens up. So how can I chose the file that I want.

Thanks in advance.

HI&nbsp;sirping&nbsp;
&nbsp;
What kind of file is it?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Like is it XML data? if so we could work with this via DOM&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Alternatively if the file is known and does not change we could command line arguments in testcomplete&nbsp;

Hello&nbsp;vinniew&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for your reply!&nbsp;No the file being used has a custom file extension (.fpc).When I click on import the Windows Promt opens with the file explorer asks me to chose a file. Is there an elegant way to do this or do I need to Map the file explorer in TC to do this.&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;
