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.

This small piece of software, within minutes of downloading, made me the happiest guy in the world. My camera did something weird to my SmartMedia card, rendering it useless. Upon card insertion, the camera and subsequent computers asked if I wished to format the card. I did NOT format the card, because I had just spent 2 hours taking promo pictures for my business in lots of different locations, and figured SOMEbody could figure it out... [...] When I found this program, although it took a minute or two to figure out which "number" went with my USB SmartMedia reader, I clicked a few buttons, and this program went right to work. It took about 5-10 seconds per picture to recover - I was ELATED! Thank you for providing this piece of software for free. I figure the least I could do was come back to say thank you.
