Thread: windows, cant find ostgresql.conf
I just did a windows install of postgresql. I cannot find or edit the postgresql.conf. This is a new Dell machine running XP Professional OS.
I chose not to install as a windows service, but as a job which I can start and stop.
Where should I look for help.
Is it easy to uninstall?
Should I uninstall and then reinstall as a windows service?
If I install as a windows service, is that reversable, or might it permanently change my computer in some undesirable fashion.

The uninstall process is designed to reverse everything done by the installer. John DeSoi, Ph.D. http://pgedit.com/ Power Tools for PostgreSQL
