read the FAQ and Configuration Guide, but doing what I understood did not

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Moved

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Created
the file named default_configuration.ini and placed it in C:\Documents and

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>My
understanding was that when I opened Outlook SpamBayes would read the
default_configuration.ini file in the Application Directory path and then use
the data bases from the D: path. However, when opening up Outlook I get
the message that SpamBayes is not configured. I thought the spaces in the
directory name in default_configuration.ini might be the problem, so I changed
it (and moved data files) to D:\SPAM. But that did not work either. What
am I missing here?</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>My
goal is to have the data bases on a drive and path that I regularly back up,
and also share that database (as well as the Outlook pst file) on a laptop via
Briefcase. (I only use one machine or the other before updating briefcase
so Outlook will not try to run on both machines on the same data at once)</span></font></p>
