FAQ
===
1. Moving database to a different location
-------------------------------------------
There are two ways to move CD database to a different location:
a) Use command line as described in the previous section,
b) Add a key to the registry:
	[HKLM\OrangeX\OrangeCD\Database]
	Location=<database_file_location>

2. How to restore Windows CD Player as default player
-----------------------------------------------------
When OrangeCD deinstalls, it sets up Windows CD Player as default player. (Note it
does not remember any other player you had).
OR: you can open CDPLAYER.REG file to do this manually.

3. How to change default "orange" skin?
---------------------------------------
Just replace SKIN.BMP file which is located in the same folder as ORANGECD.EXE.
