Technical Stuff - what the installation program does

The MACREX installation does the following

1. Creates the program folder and copies the files to it (you can select this folder if you want)

2. Creates the MACREX default folder and copies some default files to it (you can select this folder if you want)

3. Creates two shortcuts, one on the desktop and one under Start->All Programs->MACREX Version 8.

4. Adds the MACREX Program folder to the PATH

5. Creates and environment variable called MACREX and sets it to point to the MACREX default directory

6. Creates an association between the .mx8 file extension and the MACREX-8.EXE program, so that indexes can be opened directly from Windows Explorer

7. Creates an association between .mbk files and the MACREX-8.EXE program, so that backup files can be opened directly from Windows explorer.

8. Creates a registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Console that sets the default font for the MACREX shortcuts to Lucida.

Uninstalling will remove all of the above changes, but not any new files that you have made using MACREX.
