:: INSTALLING, UPDATING AND UNINSTALLING

INSTALL
   The fastest way to install MDINotepad is by using setup.exe. You can
   also install MDINotepad manually by copying mdipad.exe to any
   directory you please, and create the shortcuts you need. 

   The Setup of MDINotepad makes no modifications to your Windows registry.
   This way you can install MDINotepad to any windows environment. The only
   downside to this is that you have to setup the file associations
   yourself.

WINDOWS XP
   Is some cases Windows XP won't let the setup overwrite and replace
   notepad.exe, it being a system file. If this happends you have to replace
   Notepad manually just by overwriting notepad.exe with mdipad.exe and
   making sure all the other necessary files can be found in the same
   directory.

UPDATING
   If you already have a previous version of MDINotepad installed to a 
   directory just select the Install option. If you have replaced Notepad
   with MDINotepad and wish to update, you must first restore the backup
   and then replace Notepad again, with the new version.

UNINSTALL
   If your have replaced the original notepad.exe then run the MDINotepad
   setup again and select the Restore backup option. If your have installed
   MDINotepad to a directory select the Uninstall option.
