	Optimise The File Locations Dialogue Box Written For Paint Shop Pro 7 8 9 X - Beginners XI And X2 Photo + (Ultimate) Students Should Follow X’s Instructions

The File Locations dialogue box enables quick access to all files used within Paint Shop Pro, and is utilised to “point” files in the right direction - thereby enabling users to apply new Plugins and Picture Tubes, etcetera.

Although when first installed, Paint Shop Pro’s file paths are pre-optimised, (or should be), further additions may require guidance - this tutorial demonstrates how this is done.
