# For the first time, the internal directories must be created
# You can use the absolute reinit function :

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

# Initialize Havelock for the current user

# If you do not use cookie, you can store registry keys elsewhere

# First, disable cookie

# Refresh regstry tokens and cookies
