You have already installed donTs Search Explorer? Read the 
4) Upgrading/ReInstalling donTs Search Explorer section below.

The installation is designed for the Windows 9x/NT environment, if you
want to use it in another operating system you must download the ZIP-file
containing the files only without installation procedure.
(Available at the homepage, http://www.bigfoot.com/~triwar/)
Please follow the instructions at "Manual Installation" below.

Installation is easy, just *unzip and copy all files to a temporary 
and run SETUP.EXE. The installation procedure will copy the files to
a folder of your choice (C:\Program Files\donTs Search Explorer is
default), and creates the shortcuts in your "Start-Menu".

Manual Installation:
Get the archive containing the files for manual installation from
donTs homepage (http://www.bigfoot.com/~triwar/)
UnZIP all files to a folder of your choice and make a shortcut to 
index.htm (take care of the foldes inside the archive!).

* if you don't already have a program to unzip the files get one of these
  great and free "unzipper".

*****************************************************************************
donTs Search Explorer makes NO modifications to any configuration-files!

Automatic:
Open your Control Panel, start "Add/Remove Programs" find the entry for
donTs Search Explorer and click on "Add/Remove". Just like every other 
Windows application...

If you want to remove it complete from your system you should delete the
folder where donTs Search Explorer was installed manually. Because there
are some files left after automatic-remove. These are the user-configuration
files witch contain your data. If you reinstall donTs Search Explorer to
the same folder, you're ready, no re-configuration is necessary.

Manual:
Just remove the folder where you have stored DonT's Search Explorer and
removed the menu item you made. That's it...
