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.

I have not installed without the service, but on my system there is a
link to the postgresql.conf file right in the Start menu program group
for PostgreSQL.

Yes, just go to the Add or Remove programs control panel.

Yes, it will likely make your life easier.

The uninstall process is designed to reverse everything done by the
installer.
