Your .phenote directory

Sometimes you will see error messages that refer to your .phenote directory. Here's how to find it:

• On a Mac, you will find your .phenote directory in MacintoshHD:Users:YourUsername although you probably will not see it in a "finder" window, because finder windows do not show directories that start with ".". You do have access to it from a "terminal" window.
• On other Unix systems, your .phenote directory will be in your home directory (~).
• On Windows, look in C:/Documents and Settings/YourAccount/
  Note: by default, Windows does not show you folders that start with "." To see your .phenote directory, first open the 'my computer' folder. Select 'folder options' from the 'tools' menu and select "Display all the file extensions and hidden files". and click OK. This should make the .phenote folder visible and accessible.
