g. sysImage : contains system pictures such as theme pictures. There is no web based section to upload images to this folder, so you have to upload the images to this folder if needed.

Besides the above folders, you will see the following files:

- conn.asp
This is where you will use to config the path to the database and customize the looking of your "Free-PayPal-Shopping-Cart"

3. Modify the design:
For Security Reason, it's highly recommended to rename the database in the folder "database", e.g. you may name it to "abac123.mdb"

Open the conn.asp file, you will see a line ' db="../database/er43yu6.mdb" ', correct the er43yu6.mdb to your changed named.

And you may change the following configuration within the conn.asp if necessary :

# PayPal Account Configuration
# Table Configuration
# Table Header Configuration
# Details Configuration

4. That's it, for any reason you cannot access the admin section properly, please try the following :

Change the permission of the access database file, er43yu6.mdb to everyone full access. How to do this ? Please consult your hosting directly.
If your server is using norton antivirus, you have to uncheck the option "Block Script Automatically" and restart your computer.
