General / Re: Installing SFML in Visual C++ 2010

As someone who was completely new and just figured out how to do it, I would suggest clarifying right after this line in the tutorial:
Just mention to set the "Configuration" text box in the upper left to "Release" and "Debug" before linking to their respective libraries. I think because you never mention changing it from All Configurations to something else, it gets confusing. When I read the line about linking to the proper libraries between debug and release, I had no idea what to change and must have spent 30 minutes looking for debug and release in the configuration properties. I finally looked back at the tutorials and noticed the configuration box was different in the screenshots (but not outlined in red
)

These paths are the same in both Debug and Release configuration, so you can set them globally for your project ("All configurations").
