Starting a new thread everytime you have a question is inefficient at best. I know that the sites search feature isn't terribly robust, but if you use google and type in: "whatever I'm looking for" site:lockpicking101.com it'll search lp101 for you. Your questions have been answered before. If I'm not mistaken someone told you exactly what kind of files to use in the other thread.

You should also feel welcome to reply in your own thread if you have additional questions. Every time you reply it bumps it to the top of the thread, so you don't have to start a new thread everytime you want you question to get proper attention.
