Purpose of INI-PATH Setting in the WINWORD6.INI File |
Q105710
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
SUMMARY
The INI-PATH setting in the WINWORD6.INI file tells Word for Windows the location of the WINWORD.OPT file.
In a non-network installation of Word, this setting is by default set to the Word program directory, usually C:\WINWORD. In a network installation of Word, the setting specifies the location of each user's WINWORD.OPT file.
MORE INFORMATION
The WINWORD.OPT file is a binary file that contains user preferences, most of which are set in the Tools Options dialog box.
In a network installation of Word, you should change the INI-PATH setting to a unique location. If you accept the default setting, all network users use the same WINWORD.OPT file, which may lead to file sharing errors.
Note: The Word 6.0 WINWORD.OPT file corresponds to the Word 2.x WINWORD.INI file.
The WINWORD6.INI file, located in the Windows directory, is a text file that contains the settings that are stored in the Windows WIN.INI file in earlier versions of Word.
