SUMMARY
This article describes the WIN.INI file settings used by Access Pack for Windows, version 3.0a. These entries are only added to your WIN.INI file when you explicitly save setting changes using the Access Utility provided with Access Pack.

WARNING: Be very careful when you modify WIN.INI file settings; refer to the Access Pack WININI.WRI file for more information.

To change these settings, choose your settings using the Access Utility, and then save them using the Save Parameter Changes to Disk command from the File menu.

If you cannot run the Access Utility because of unsupported hardware, you can add these entries to your WIN.INI file using a text editor, such as Microsoft Windows Notepad. See the Access Pack WININI.WRI file for more information about the structure of the WIN.INI file and instructions on making changes.
