<listitem><para>The hidden directory <filename>.kde</filename> (note the

period at the beginning), located in your home directory, contains a

large number of files that store &tde; settings. Some subdirectories
|
|
|
|
|
you may find useful are:<filename>.kde/share/config</filename>, which
|
|
|
|
|
contains configuration files for individual applications;
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>.kde/Autostart</filename>, which contains links to

applications which should start each time you start &tde;; and

<filename>.kde/share/apps/tdeabc</filename>, where your address book is

usually only need to set <envar>TDEDIR</envar> to the directory in which

&tde; is installed, but sometimes you might have other &tde;

<envar>TDEDIRS</envar> environment variable. Set

<envar>TDEDIRS</envar> to a list of all the directories containing

&tde; programs, separated by commas. For example, if you have &tde;

programs in both <filename>/usr/local/kde</filename> and

|

<filename>/home/phil/kde</filename>, you can use <userinput>export

TDEDIR=/usr/local/kde,/home/phil/kde</userinput> if you use

<application>bash</application> or <userinput>setenv
