    Win.ini

    The Microsoft Windows 3.x and 9x initialization file located in the C:\Windows directory. The win.ini file is used to load various settings each time Windows boots; for example, the communications drivers, wallpaper, screensaver, languages, fonts, etc... are loaded each time the win.ini is initialized. If this file becomes corrupt or bad, Windows will either not load, or have several errors as it loads. Users looking to view or edit the system.ini file can use the sysedit or msconfig utilities.Users who are running Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, or later operating systems no longer have a win.ini. Instead of storing these settings in this file, they are stored in the system registry.

    • Additional information about restoring the system.ini and win.ini can be found on document CH000211.

  3. if you delete it you will cry, if your looking at deleting it i can only assume your system is slow and messed up so backup your stuff and format/reinstall
