INI Files View
AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Tuner
Initialization (INI) files serve as a database in which you can store and retrieve information between uses of your application. Typically, INI Files contain key name-value pairs representing run-time options for applications. Some INI files, such as Boot.ini and Wininit.ini, are used by the operating system.
The INI Files view provides a graphical way for users to add, modify, or delete the contents of the IniFile Table.
