IniEdit is a tool that lets you view, modify and backup your INI
files. Please note that this utility should be used with extreme caution.
Syntax:
------
Iniedit <inifile>. If no input file is specified, the program defaults
to the sytem INI file. The user always has the option of viewing the System
and User ini files in addition to the file specified on the command line.
An INI file is stuctured this way:
Application name:
Keyword1 Value1
Keyword2 Value2
keywordn Valuen
e.g
Corel <=====Application
Keywords Values
-------- ------
PlaneColor 1
PenWidth 3
The user can delete an application from the INI file by pressing the
<Delete application> push button. Note that this deletes all the
application's associated keywords and values. You should excersise maximum
caution when doing this.
Similarly, the user can also delete a specific keyword associated with
an application by pressing the <Delete Keyword> push button. Note
that this deletes all the keyword and its associated value.
Modifying a Keyword value is done by pressing the <Modify> push button.
This brings us a dialog window in which the user can enter the new
value. This will only work for text values.
At any time the user can press the <Refresh> push button to get a
current view of the loaded file.
The INI can be backed up by pushing the <Backup> push button. The user
is prompted for a destination file name. Backup takes place in the background
and the user can stop the process by pressing the <Stop Backup> push button.
Note that the backup procedure also results in a smaller file. If the System or User files are to be replaced by the newly created files, the following needs to be done:
In config.sys insert the following statements:
