win.ini file
When you start Windows, it consults the win.ini file to determine a variety of options for the Windows operating environment. Among other things,
the win.ini file records what printer(s) and fonts are installed for Windows. The win.ini file also usually includes sections that contain optional
settings for Windows application programs that are installed on the hard-disk drive.
Making changes through the Control Panel or Windows Setup program may change options in the win.ini file. On other occasions, you may need
to change or add options to the win.ini file manually with a text editor, such as Notepad.
