Please help the Noob get TF2 working with SofTH

[Jimmmy]

Hello I have tried reading the threads and I am at a crossroads I can't figure out any of this stuff for TF2 because I don't really understand what is going on..

That said in Team Fortress 2 where do I put the files?? Let's start there I don't see the exe for TF2 anywhere.. Then I am running 1st monitor is 1200X1600 middle 2560X1600 last is 1200X1600 do I need to force this resolution somewhere?

I put the relevant files in these locations:

C:Program FilesSteamsteamappsXXUSERNAMEXXteam fortress 2
SoftTH.cfg
SoftTH_hook.dll

C:Program FilesSteamsteamappsXXUSERNAMEXXteam fortress 2bin
d3d8.dll
d3d9.dll
