    INI files were used in older versions of Windows. With the new versions, they were replaced by the Registry. It's less 'hackable' because not many ordinary people (non-computer experts) know about it.

    I think the registry is better, because it's easy to save and get settings

    Registry:
    + Easy to use
    + Stays wherever you move the app
    - Leaves when you copy the app to another comp
    - Goes, if the Os crashes and registry screws up
    Ini:
    + It's a file, you can move it, and copy the app to other comps
    - anyone can delete or change the file
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
