Just wondering what you would need a .INI file for and how you would use
one

INI files used to be used a lot to store user settings or preferences. For
instance Excel 4 stores the names of the add-ins you want loaded
automatically in Excel4.ini Since Windows 95 the Windows Registry has been
the preferred way to store user settings.
