Do they do anything in xp??

all contents in both just dissappeared a few weeks ago. Just now I see that
win.ini has three lines added to it. they were not there a few days ago:

[Temp Files]
Data Base=C:\DOCUME~1\Paul\LOCALS~1\Temp\dbfC4.tmp
MainSif=C:\DOCUME~1\Paul\LOCALS~1\Temp\sifC5.tmp

When searching for the win.ini to copy the lines above, I found 3 other
win.ini files:

1--file:///C:/WINDOWS/win.ini which is listed as a system file and I can not
open it. What is this?

2--win.ini.backup:

Both files are there for 16 bit Windows legacy support. If you're not
using any older Windows applications that need win.ini or system.ini,
you can actually delete them. The system will re-create generic ones
on next reboot.

Much deleted....... You really didn't have to copy the contents
here.

wizzy

Win.ini is an initialization file.... baisically it
contains entries that tell windows which programs to load
and run
System.ini Is another initialization file..... this should
describe things like device drivers,and how Dos
applications are executed.
If you say they dissapeared and came back i would run a
virus chk to make sure u do not have a virus or something
