There should be a folder: "C:\Program Files (x86)\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins".

Hello M,
 I found the plug in folder,
But now I have the problem that none of these plug-ins show up on find and run robot.

How do I activate these plug-ins?

I searched on Google but I couldn't find any tutorial on how to do this.

They should be active automatically.
You can see if a plugin is running and what keyword to use to trigger it by going to the "External Tools and Plugins" tab of options and then click on the "Click to Examine and Configure Plugins".

Did you put the actual plugin application dll into that directory? A clean install of FARR already has that folder there, and contains a .dcupdate and .ico file, but not the real plugin. It's just a place-holder. You have to download any plugin separately and place the files from the zip-file in the corresponding directory :o

Hello ATH,

so i have to download a plugin and copy the dll into the plugin folder

I assumed the plugin was already there because of the folder being there.

Ok i shall do some tests and report back on the activation
