Leave it empty.

It's supposed to be the path to the Shredder folder. Which in your case is
c:\Shredder judging from below.

No, but you could call the files sh5.*, where * denotes the different extensions
(init, bmp, rc, eng).

I've renamed them all Shredder.* . My structure is as follows using your fritz
path:

1) In c:\fritz\engines I have: Shredder.eng (renamed WinBoard adapter from CB)
and a folder called Shredder.

2) In the Shredder folder (c:\fritz\engines\shredder) there are:

Shredder.exe (UCI-WB adapter previouslu sh5.exe)
Shredder.init (Previously sh5.init)
Shredder.rc (Adapter config file, previously sh5.rc).
Shredder.bmp (Shredder logo).

You can replace the Shredder prefix with anything you like as long as you do it
everywhere.

You can set the dir in the .rc file, so it can be placed anywhere. Try checking
the Shredder folder. There is an executable called engine.exe. That is the
Shredder engine we're interested in connecting to.

This means that you can copy the file engine.exe (and maybe rename it) to any
location you want as long as you change the path (and if you rename it, also the
name) in the .rc config file.

Hope I didn't make it more confusing.

Mogens.
