Initialization (INI) Files


 

All settings interfaced in the Secure Desktop system are saved in INI files. INI files are ascii text files used by nearly all Windows programs for configuration and default settings. WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI are the two primary files used by Windows. The SYSTEM.INI file is modified by Secure Desktop in Windows 98/ME, to change the shell and task manager settings. VISUAUTO.INI is the primary INI file used by Secure Desktop for all settings in the setup, options, and window wizard dialogs. VISUFILE.INI is used for sFile settings. All of these files are found in your Windows directory. Additional VISUAUTO.INI and VISUFILE.INI files are found in other directories, as explained in the Multi-User options.

 

In Windows NT4/2000/2003/XP, the registry is modified for the system settings, to change the shell, task manager, and other registry settings. Also, OS Policy and IE and Office settings are in the Current User portion of the registry.

 

In Windows 2000/2003 Terminal Services, we needed to move the VISUAUTO.INI that is normally in the Windows folder (for non-specific user settings). It is now stored in the all users area of the profile folder system. Please click here for more information.
