Hi,
I've been using Eagle for years, but I think Kicad is a great product, so I'm

individualy to each project.
Is there a way to define default libraries and
bear in mind that I am still using the 2009 version so file locations

under the kicad tree thee is a template directory, in there you will find
kicad.pro
Unfortunately in my sytsem I also have a kicad.pro in share/template this
may be a left-over from a previous install. So
I am very new to KiCad, first thing I did was to modify an existing microchip
part and add the new part back into the same library; This went well after a

to a NEW library with the appropriate toolbar button.
Forgot to mention that im using KiCad for Windows, and yes I have reloaded
KiCad in hopes the libraries would appear in the lists.

New to Kicad but had used Orcad for many years. Is there a more US
like device library that uses resistor, ground, etc. symbols? Yhe
square box resistors just don't look right!
Yes they do ;)
But if there are, you find them here:
