Win.ini

[Guest Mist]

Discovered an application's (PMI) tails left over from long ago when

supposedly it had been deleted.

 

I'm hesitant to play here because they aren't concise yet I'm fairly

certain they're all together. Know what happens with "assume" also.

 

Originally, the application was geared to start on boot up.

 

If I wanted to gamble, how would I edit the ini file? Only reason to is if

it's being read. If it's being ignored, eh, so what. Thinking it might be

part of other ills here I'm hunting.

WIN.INI is a legacy of old applications and WinXP does not interpret it.

 

Only old games for Win95 (and maybe Win98) may interpret it.

The file is only there for backward compatibility for old 16-bit legacy

applications, you could remove all the entries in the file and it

wouldn't bother Windows at all. You can use Msconfig to disable entries

in the file or you can use Sysedit to edit and completely remove entries

in the file.

No games just an ancient PIM now replaced.

 

Thanks.

Ahh, the things I learn here - very good thing.

 

Think that Sysedit is the choice.

 

Thanks.

win.ini is just a txt file. Edit with notepad.
