After reentering Windows, you will see a folder containing the SETS      program. The    program icons can be dragged over to the desktop from the folder for easier access.**7.** During the installation process, SETS also creates a SETSWork folder on your    hard drive. You can use this directory to store tables, recodes, exported files, and the    like. The directory also contains a subdirectory called **Samples,** which contains a    number of files with the extensions .sdl, .dat, and .val. These files enable SETS    2.0 to compile and index data to be released and accessed using the SETS 2.0 Interface.    NCHS included the files to build file **CARS 1994**, a sample set of 1994 Underlying Cause of    Death records containing Age, Race, Sex, and Cause of Death coding for 72 causes. NCHS    offers this feature to assist users in learning SETS programs on a small data set.
