[Category 1-4] Editing
The .ini file contains a similar section for each of the four category
tables . Two main categories are automatically configured during
installation. You may want to rename a category so it more closely
relates to your business. Or you may also want to activate one or more
of the empty categories. An empty category will look as follows....
[Category 2]
Title=
SubCat1=
SubCat1Title=
SubCat2=
SubCat2Title=
The category name is displayed in the Title section. To activate main
category 2, type in the name you would like directly after Title=. When
you save the change in Notepad, then exit Notepad and restart

the names you would like directly after SubCat1Title= and
SubCat2Title=.
Confused yet? Let’s do some examples. We’ll start with a simple one.

Position the mouse I-beam at the end of the word Refuse and press
the Backspace key until the word Refuse is deleted. Type in the word
