Kevin,

>I have recently started to use INI files to configure some of my mini-apps. But one app in particular is being run overnight on an NT Server, but with a different start-up directory than the EXE (as the start-up dir cannot be specified from the scheduler). This resulted in my app not being able to find it's INI file.

The app is probably starting up in the Windows System32 directory, so you could put an extra ini there, but that seems kinda sloppy. Maybe the PIF is the better idea.
