"What exactly is wrong with ini files and/or registry? Perhaps it is your misunderstanding..." Oh please, if you ever dealt with windows registry then you know it's a totally disfunctional way to keep record of anything. Over time it gets oversized, filled with crap, slow and totally impractical, in one word: bloated, and please, while windows may implement one or two good ideas the underlying infraestructure is as much messy as is it's registry. -- -msx
