hello, I am not a technical person by any means.. I am trying to install this the windows wallet... could anyone help me with what the following means:
2. Edit zero.conf and set strong username/password (it will work even if you skip this option)
3. Start install_conf.bat by clicking on it.
4. Create a Desktop shortcut of ZEROSwingWalletUI.jar
fully understand may come across as a completely newbie but i suppose the key to growth is to also cater to the useless like me!

I hope you did understand how to install Java?
I don't currently have a windows wallet installed otherwise I'd make it myself but perhaps a guide/video tutorial is a good thing to do. The average windows user is used to double clicking an installer.exe and is not accustomed to running a java application like this. Also, there is no reason why anyone in a sane mind would ever want to skip setting a strong (random) RPC user and pass.
If I am not mistaken, rpc is only for remote control. No RPC pass or u.n. set then daemon uses cookie based auth (local hidden cookie) for access to wallet function. Actually not for access to the built in wallet functions but for external tools such as javascript wallets (swing wallet).
Swing wallet dont need rpc. Rpc left blank prevents remote access. In my opinion sanity results from NOT setting creds for RPC unless you plan to use it.
My mistake. I did not know leaving it blank would do that. Learn something new every day
cheers! Still "Edit zero.conf and set strong username/password (it will work even if you skip this option)" should be phrased in a different way (if its indeed from the readme).
