+ <h2><a name="ResetConfiguration"></a>Resetting SpamBayes configuration</h2>
+ In some cases, it may become necessary to reset your SpamBayes
+ configuration, especially if your configuration becomes invalid.
+ SpamBayes attempts to detect this situation, but doesn't always get it
+ right. This section details where critical configuration files
+ are stored.<br>
+ SpamBayes stores all configuration data in <a
+ href="#LocateDataDirectory">your data directory</a>. The
+ configuration information is stored in a file called <span
+ style="font-style: italic;">[profile name].ini</span>, where <span
+ style="font-style: italic;">profile name</span> is the name of your
+ Microsoft Outlook profile. The default profile name is usually <span
+ style="font-style: italic;">Outlook</span>
+ or <span style="font-style: italic;">Microsoft Outlook Internet
+ Settings</span>, but Outlook can be configured to use any number of
+ profiles, with any name.<br>
+ Note that in this directory, you will also find a file named <span
+ style="font-style: italic;">default_bayes_customize.ini</span> - this
+ file <span style="font-weight: bold;">is not </span>used to configure
+ the Outlook side of SpamBayes - look for any other .ini files in that
+ directory.<br>
+ If you delete the configuration file, SpamBayes will be completely
+ reset. Note you will not lose your training data, only your
+ configuration information. The next time you start Outlook, the
+ SpamBayes configuration wizard should appear, guiding you through the
+ configuration process<br>
+ Your training data is also stored in this directory, but in files with
+ a <span style="font-style: italic;">.db</span> extension. If you
+ ever want to delete your training information, remove the two <span
+ style="font-style: italic;">.db</span> files in this directory.<br>
+ You may like to consider backing up this directory.<br>

! <h3><a name="LocateDataDirectory"></a>Locating your Data Directory</h3>
! SpamBayes stores all configuration and database information in a single
! directory. By default, this directory is located under the user's
! <span style="font-style: italic;">Application Data</span>
! directory. You can locate this directory by
! using the <span style="font-style: italic;">Show Data Folder</span>
! button on the <span style="font-style: italic;">Advanced</span> tab of
! the main SpamBayes Manager dialog.<br>
! If you need to locate it by hand, on
! Windows NT/2000/XP, it will probably be <span
! style="font-style: italic;">C:\Documents
! and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Spambayes</span>, or on other
! versions of Windows it will probably be <span
! style="font-style: italic;">C:\Windows\Application Data\Spambayes</span>.
! Note that the <span style="font-style: italic;">Application Data </span>folder
! may be hidden, so Windows
! Explorer may not show it by default, but you can enter the path into
! the Address Bar and Explorer will open it.<br>
! Note that by modifying the configuration files, you can tell SpamBayes
! to store this data in any directory, so it is possible your data is
! being stored elsewhere - contact your network administrator if this
! appear to be the case.
