90 _evergreen_staff_client.tar.bz2_
92 . FTP or SCP the tarball to your staff client
94 . From your staff client machine, create a folder with the name of

97 . Within the folder, click on the _evergreen_ file to start the program.

139 indexterm:[staff client, removing user settings]
144 When you uninstall the Evergreen staff client code from your system, the staff
145 client preferences and cached data are not removed from your system. This can
146 be a problem if, for example, you have registered your workstation with the
147 wrong library; or if you have chosen a display language (locale) that is broken
148 and will not let you start up the client again
150 On Windows, you can uninstall the Evergreen staff client code using the
151 Add/Remove Programs menu.
153 To remove the staff client preferences and cached data entirely on Windows,
154 there are two directories that you must delete completely (where _<profile>_
155 represents your user profile name):
157 * *C:\Documents and Settings\<profile>\Application Data\OpenILS*
158 * *C:\Documents and Settings\<profile>\Local Settings\Application Data\OpenILS*
160 You might need to change the preferences in Windows Explorer to display hidden
161 files (Tools -> Folder Options… -> View).
