To install to this folder, simply click ‘Install’. Alternatively, if you wish to install the software to a different location of your choice, click the ‘Browse’ button and browse to your destination folder.

Please note: the software is designed to be installed and run from the local C drive of each user’s PC.  

5) As soon as the Setup Wizard has completed, simply click ‘Finish’.

The Thesaurus Accounts icon should now be present on your Desktop in order to access the software.

6) In the event that an icon hasn’t been created on your Desktop, one can be created by browsing to your Thesaurus Accounts installation folder and right clicking on the ‘thesaurusaccounts.exe’ file that can be found here. Selecting the option ‘Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)' will now place the Thesaurus Accounts icon on the Desktop for you.

Creating and Accessing a Central Data Location

1) First, set up a new folder on your server/ network/ cloud environment into which your company data files are to be saved and accessed from. It is from this same location that users will access the files once the company data files have been created. This folder can be called “Thesaurus Accounts Company Files”, for example. 

2) Go to each individual PC and double click into your Thesaurus Accounts software using your Desktop icon.

3) Next you will be asked to specify the location of your company data files - direct this to the folder that has been set up in Step 1:

• To do this, select the relevant drive from the drop down list of drives. The drive you select will now appear under “Drive” as well as under “Directory”.

• Within the “Directory” box all the folders on the drive selected will be listed. Double click on the Thesaurus Accounts folder that has been set up in Step 1. 

• Enter the "User Name" for this particular PC.

4) Click “OK”.

5) Repeat steps 2 to 4 on each individual's PC.
