read/write win.ini

Question

Does anyone know how I can read/write to win.ini please? Tried trawling the help but can only find references to ConfigureSettings to maintain a config file related to my program. I need access to the win.ini because other programs already use that and I need to get at the data there. Thanks.

Hi here is a small C# component that can read and write INI files . Also here is an example how you can use it in order to retrieve all its data: IniFile winIni = new IniFile (); winIni.Load( @C:\Windows\win.ini ); foreach ( IniSection section in winIni.Sections) { Console .WriteLine( Section's name: {0}  section.Name); foreach ( IniKey key in section.Keys) Console .WriteLine( Key's name: {0} | Key's value: {1}  key.Name key.Value); }
