    Thank you Djadhav for your suggestion and screenshots,

Where is you pjs (project suit ) file?

back it up and re-name or place it somewhere else.

place project files where ever you would like.

create a new project suite and include your projects.

Here is something you can do to fix the project and project suite files.

 

Step 1: Remove all script files from the projects.

Step 3 - Move all the script files in Windows explorer where you would want to have them.

 

Step 4 - Add the script files back in TestComplete to the project.

Save the projects. This will update the project and project suite files with your desired folder structure.

 

Hope this helps!
