<title>About Your &tde; Account</title>
<para>&tde; stores information about your personal settings in a few
different places:
<itemizedlist>
<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
stored.</para>
</listitem>
<!-- FIXME: Apparently TDEDIR and TDEDIRS are deprecated. I need to -->
<!-- get the truth on this -->
<listitem><para>The environment variables <envar>TDEDIR</envar> and
<envar>TDEDIRS</envar> tell &tde; where its files are stored. You will
usually only need to set <envar>TDEDIR</envar> to the directory in which
&tde; is installed, but sometimes you might have other &tde;
programs installed elsewhere: in this case, you can use the
<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
TDEDIR=/usr/local/kde,/home/phil/kde</userinput> if you use sh.
</para>
