        Changing settings in WIN.INI

 Windows created the WIN.INI file when you installed Windows.
 All of the settings contained in this file were set to
 default values defined by Windows.

 You might want to change one or more of these values in
 order to change the appearance or performance of Windows to
 suit your needs.

 There are two ways to change WIN.INI settings:

 * You can use Control Panel to change most settings.

 * Use a text editor such as Notepad to edit the WIN.INI
   file directly. (Don't use a formatting editor; it can
   corrupt your WIN.INI file.)

 You can change most settings in WIN.INI by using Control
 Panel. By doing so, you avoid opening WIN.INI as a text
 file, where it is easier to make mistakes.

 For more information on Control Panel, see Chapter 5,
 "Control Panel," in the User's Guide.

 For the settings you cannot change by using Control Panel,
 you must open the WIN.INI file, edit it using a text editor
 such as Notepad, and then restart Windows. For more
 information on how to use Notepad, see Chapter 10,
 "Additional Accessories," in the User's Guide.

   CAUTION: You should use care when making changes to your
            WIN.INI file using a text editor. Incorrect
            changes to WIN.INI can lead to unexpected
            results when you run Windows. In addition, some
            editors can damage certain characters (those
            with ANSI values of greater than 127). It is
            recommended that you use Notepad as a text
            editor. The listings in this document indicate
            which settings you can change using Control
            Panel. Use Control Panel whenever possible.

            Always back up your WIN.INI file before you
            open it.
