3.1.3 The WINVN.INI File



WinVN stores the options you select on the Config menu into a file called WINVN.INI. This file is usually customized for each user and stored on a networked drive unique to that user.

To configure WINVN to find this file in the proper place add the following line to either your AUTOEXEC.BAT or the login script of your network login command:

You can override looking for the WINVN environment variable by passing the location of the WINVN.INI file as the 1st argument when starting WinVN.

A sample WINVN.INI looks as follows:
