If a quiz is saved in another folder other than the Net Control 2 default path (%COMMONDOCUMENTS%\Net Control 2\Quiz Files), the instructor can browse to it by clicking on “Send from file” in the “Send Quiz Advanced Options”:

The Instructor can set a different default path for quizzes via the “Use other folder” button for a specific Send Quiz session. For example, if quizzes are saved in My Documents, the Instructor can select that folder and click “OK”.

The Send Quiz window will then show all the quizzes saved in that folder:

Specify the path to the file on the user's computer and click “OK”. Instead of entering quiz file name, instructor can click “File Manager” to browse the user's computer for quiz files.

To add a file using “File Manager”, find and select it from the “REMOTE COMPUTER” panel of File Manager, then click the “Open File” button.
