There is no valid basis why you should not use INI's in any way, especially in projects like this. It is a very wide spread and seriously misconception that using INI's would be bad, less efficient or whatever.
yeah, i agree
To be honest, i just write all my settings to a random access text file and then just retrieve them when i need them. Probably a dodgy method, but its fast, reliable and works.
