Installing PinPoint 2.12:

Since PinPoint is a System Preference Pane, you have two options to install it. The first is to place it in the main Library Fodler, inside a folder called "PreferencePanes". This will make it available to all users of your machine. Here is what this looks like in the Finder:

¨

The other option is to install PinPoint for a single user on your Mac. To do this, instead of installing it in the main Library folder, you install it in that user's own Library folder. So foor a user called "macchampion", it would look like this:

Once installed, you can launch your System Preferences and you should see PinPoint in your "Other" section. If you do not see it, Quit System Preferences (select Quit from the menu, do not simply close the window as this does not Quit the System Preferences, it merely closes its window). Then, start System Preferences again. You should see this:

WARNING: If you install PinPoint in both places, you will end up with two copies in your System Preferences, this is not dangerous, but you could end up running two copies of PinPoint and use up system cycles for nothing.

Removing PinPoint:

In order to remove PinPoint from your system, here are the files and folders which get created by it:

• The System Preference Pane itself
• A file called com.macchampion.pinpoint.plist in your Preferences folder
• A folder called PinPoint 2 in your Library folder (your user's, not the main one).

Simply trash all this and PinPoint will be gone.
