re utility for updating win ini and system ini in article apr oz plymouth edu oddjob oz plymouth edu andrew c stoffel writes in article apr midway uchicago edu am midway uchicago edu writes unless i am completely misunderstanding you try using either notepad or sysedit exe found in your system subdirectory to edit you ini files you can add sysedit regedit to a program group they are windows programs the sysedit exe program is cool because it automatically opens you win ini system ini autoexec bat and config sys files to be edited is it possible to get it to load other ini files no when the program is run it loads configuration files autoexec bat config sys win ini and system ini there is no open entry on the file menu you can only edit these four files if you need to edit some other program s ini file use notepad or some other ascii editor i wonder whether microsoft intended for sysedit to be used or if it was just a holdover from the testing period and they forgot to take it out the reason i think this is because there is absolutely no mention in the manuals about this program and there is no online help for it just an about entry under the file menu the program looks like something that was intended for internal use only it s kind of a shame though it would have made a nice multi file replacement for notepad daniel silevitch dmsilev athena mit edu massachusetts institute of technology
