INI file cleanup

Hi,

Many of you have been long-time SPFLite users and have thus gone through many version upgrades.  As SPFLite has evolved, we have altered, added and obsoleted many of the INI values that control SPFLite options.

But the INI file support provided by Microsoft has one significant failing - it provides no facility to remove obsolete entries from an INI file.  So over the years, the INI file has accumulated a lot of 'garbage' entries.  They do no harm, but simply clutter up the file with useless data.

I personally find this annoying and have written a small tool to clean up this obsolete data.
  
The program is attached to this posting.



To run it:

First - make sure you are on the current version (10.1.9014) - if not, don't use this tool until you are.

• Stop all running copies of SPFLite 
  
• Run the attached SPFLiteINICleanup.EXE program (from any folder) 
  
• The program will create two files in your \User\yourself\Documents\SPFLite folder. 
  
• NewSPFLite.INI 
  
• SPFLiteINIClean.TXT 
  
• The TXT file contains a report of what has been changed 
  
• The NewSPFLite.INI file is a new replacement INI file 
  
• Swap the SPFLite.INI and NewSPFLite.INI files to implement the cleaned up INI file 
  

If you experience any problems, simply reverse the above Swap to go back to your old INI file, and report the problem.
