I thought the win.ini file went away after Windows NT 3.51 and was
mostly used for 16 bit applications. I haven't seen one in a long
time and don't have any on our XP systems here.

Maybe some applications still use it out of habit from writing code
for old Windows versions. It not existing at all does not seem to be
a problem for XP.

The free Amcap application used to use win.ini, but apparently someone
there (perhaps Noël Danjou) caught on and started putting their stuff
in their own private .ini called amcap.ini (duh).

If it bothers you, make a copy someplace, delete it, reboot and see
who misses it.
