The information in a Windows Media Load Simulator projects file can be edited in any text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad. You can save an edited .bts file with a new filename. Windows Media Load Simulator opens the new projects file and runs the test with the updated information. For instructions about how to launch a load simulator project file, see Running a saved load-test configuration.
Important Note Windows Media Load Simulator will not run if you edit any information in this file incorrectly.
