When you start FileBox eXtender, it places an icon in the System Tray area, next to the time display in the right-hand corner of the Windows Start menu bar. This folder icon has a little red heart on it. If you have the FileBox eXtender buttons disabled, the heart has an 'X' through it , see the two examples below (enabled, disabled).

To configure FileBox eXtender, click on the icon in the system tray. The FileBox eXtender window, similar to the one below, appears. You can then access the configuration tabs. The features of the tabs are explained in this section of the help.
