Hi:  Win/11 is so much different for me I feel completely lost at times.  When I was trying to find ""ini" I was there but it was different.

    I searched for the ini file by clicking the folders in the path in the file explorer.  When I got to the Bin folder  and clicked on it it opened a list of 6 items (  3 folders, 1 api name, 2 configuring file, One which was Plus  configuration file)   Since it was the only thing that said "Plus" , I clicked and it opened "Plus - Notepad".  Looking down the list of items(ini style) I saw current dates, so I have to assum it is the current inifile.   Sure wasn't expecting "notepd' file.  When I do really need the file I 'll know what to look for  Thanks for your pationce guys..............Bob
