To Uninstall from a Windows Computer (Regular installation)
- Click Start, click All Programs (or Programs), and then click the DI Scoring <year> folder.

This program deletes the files that the DI Scoring Program installed. It does not delete the tournament directory, the Web page files, or any files that you created while using the program.
- Delete related files manually:
- Delete the DI Scoring Program desktop shortcut (if added).

- Delete the installation program executable file (if you saved it).

The DIPrefs.xml is installed in the %USERPROFILE% directory, which is one level up from the Documents or My Documents folder. This is typically the C:\Users\<UserName> or the C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName> directory.
If you cannot find the file, click the Start menu, (click Run if you have it), and in the search box, type: %USERPROFILE%. This opens the directory that contains the DIPrefs.xml file.
