System configuration tips

	Windows special folder locations - User profile folder and Application Data folder
	There are several folders of interest buried somewhere deep into the filesystem. These folders are part of the so called "user profile", holding most of the data associated with your Windows user identity. In particular, email software uses these folders to keep its message bases in there. There is a quick way to get there Click Windows Start button Select Run Type in "%userprofile%" (without quotes) to get your profile folder, or %appdata%" (without quotes) for an Application Data folder. Click OK

	Displaying hidden files and folders; displaying file extensions for all files
	Certain folders which are of interest when we are looking into the email databases are marked as hidden and/or system. The Windows Explorer default settings do not allow you to see such folders. Hence, you need to adjust the configuration so that all files and folders are displayed regardless of their attributes. Also, by default, file extensions for known file types are hidden; you will need the system to display file extensions as well. Open Windows Explorer From the menu select "Tools" -- "Folder options" The configuration window will appear. Under a "View" tab, Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is enabled. Clear the "Hide extensions for known file types" check box. Click "OK" to close configuration window.
