Welcome!

One of the best benefits of Dr. Cooper slowly doling out his list of already invented prime numbers is the influx of new [STRIKE]victims[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]addicts[/STRIKE] happy workers!!!

[QUOTE=Mark Rose;423589]Prime95 puts the files in the same directory as the executable. You can use a shortcut for your desktop, if you are launching it that way.

If you stop Prime95 and do the following, you can keep all your assignments:

1. Stop Prime95.
[U][B]2. Put all the files start with M in the same directory as Prime95.[/B][/U]
3. Rename one of the worktodo.txt files to worktodo.add
4. Put both worktodo.txt and worktodo.add in the same directory as Prime95
5. Start Prime95.[/QUOTE]
Uh.....those files start with "p" in my instance. I don't have any "m" files.

Oh crap, you are right. I was thinking of mfaktc, not Prime95.

That depends on the [U]range[/U] and [U]worktype[/U], see [URL="http://mersennewiki.org/index.php/GIMPS_Client_Files"]here[/URL]. You can have many different letters. There are some more accurate explanation on the forum how the file name is constructed exactly. The idea was to encode the 8-digit exponent and the work type in a 8-dot-3 pattern file name used for old systems (pre-long-file-names, like DOS, etc.).
