Why are my disc image files greyed out?!

[JAGERvSidEjA]

I thought I solved the problem in last thread but apparently not.
1. Go to
C:\Users\user\Documents\PCSX2\inis_1.4.0
2. Find PCSX2_ui
3. open with wordpad
4. scroll to the bottom
5. Find recently used ISOs [after making LEGIT ISO from disc with IMGBURN]
Which will have their file locations. Take out outdated ones and input file location of new ones.
Make sure to use two backslashes and copy it exactly like it has it. Then save.
6. Exit and Reboot program - done! 

However, when I go in PCSX2 and try to play an iso it's all greyed out!!!!
I don't understand. I'm about to scratch my head in confusion like Jackie Chan did in the meme..

Please help I can't run my games. *bloodshot eyes*

Remove the blackslashes.

Remove the blackslashes.

So change

Filename00=H:\\Archive\\BackupFiles\\3-PS2\\Star Wars Bounty Hunter.iso

Filename01=H:\\Archive\\BackupFiles\\3-PS2\\TimeSplitters 2.iso

Filename02=H:\\Archive\\BackupFiles\\3-PS2\\ Soulcalibur II.iso

Filename03=H:\\Archive\\BackupFiles\\3-PS2\\ Mortal Kombat - Deception.iso

Filename04=H:\\Archive\\BackupFiles\\3-PS2\\ MONSTERJAM.BIN

Filename05=H:\\Archive\\BackupFiles\\3-PS2\\ Gran Turismo 4.iso

To

Filename00=H:\Archive\BackupFiles\3-PS2\Star Wars Bounty Hunter.iso

Filename01=H:\Archive\BackupFiles\3-PS2\TimeSplitters 2.iso

Filename02=H:\Archive\BackupFiles\3-PS2\ Soulcalibur II.iso

Filename03=H:\Archive\BackupFiles\3-PS2\ Mortal Kombat - Deception.iso

Filename04=H:\Archive\BackupFiles\3-PS2\MONSTERJAM.BIN

Filename05=H:\Archive\BackupFiles\3-PS2\Gran Turismo 4.iso

I'd like to mention: after burning with image burn
I put the iso and bin files on an External Hard Drive.
Would that affect anything ? Does it have to be on the main HDD?

why don't you simply use the file->run iso to automatically re-create your list ?

[FlatOut]

No. I thought you put a backslash in front of the files. You should remove the spaces between \\ and the ISO names though:

Not ...3-PS2\\ Mortal Kombat - Deception.iso

but ... 3-PS2\\Mortal Kombat - Deception.iso

Ah okay.

In the PCSX2 interface? Because I don't see the File option. But I know what you're talking about.

[refraction]

The menu is "System" not "File", that's why

but every time you browse and select an ISO from the CDVD menu, then use Run CD/DVD from the system menu, it auto populates that list.

omg all I had to do was click on the grey icon then boot the cd

I kept trying to interact with it. I'm so used to grey out meaning it doesn't work aghh.

[JAGERvSidEjA]

I think all you have to do is back space all of the recent iso/bin files out of there then save it
then browse locate them again and run them all and let the emulator do the rest
