Hi Joe

Jim Payne emailed me to let me know about the couple of concerns you had with your Peacock installation. Sorry about the fact that the program only installs to C:\Peacock and that it doesn't install the CD Contents onto your hard drive. Your absolutely right that it should have but believe it or not I had my reasons for setting it up that way :-) Anyway, here is what you can do work around it.

First let me address moving the CD data to your hard drive.
1)        In the opening screen do a "Right Click" on any part of the "Blue" colour on the left side of the screen. You will see a popup dialog that informs you that you are about to move the data files.
2)        Click Yes
3)        Click "Move the Files"
4)        The program shuts down when you're finished
5)        Restart the program and it's now reading the data files from C:\Peacock\Data

Next: Moving the program to another drive.
For example… moving it to the D Drive.
1)        Copy C:\Peacock to D:\Peacock
2)        Edit the Peacock.ini file (Now in D:\Peacock) and find these lines.

[DataPath]
MainDataPath=C:\Peacock\Data
IndexDataPath=C:\Peacock\Data

3) Change to:
[DataPath]
MainDataPath=D:\Peacock\Data
IndexDataPath=D:\Peacock\Data

3)        Erase the C:\Peacock folder.

The folder doesn't have to be Peacock it can be anything so long as it's listed in the ini file.
Hopefully this will setup the program the way you want it.

One other thing you might have noticed. On some machines the help files don't display when you enter the program from the icon that was created on the desktop. For some reason on some machines the "Start In" box in the Icon Properties was left blank. Have a look at

If you have any other concerns drop me an email and I'll see what I can do for you. I won't post my email address here (Spiders and all) but you can reach me at www.donwalsh.com

Cheers and enjoy the program
