That thread was very timely and informative (among other things) since I will soon be testing and delivering a dummy-downed version of a CBT on CD-ROM. Nothing gets installed onto the host computer, it all runs from the CD - except that I am keeping track of a single user by, heretofore, writing a simple text file to the default RecordsLocation. However since I am now aware of the possible danger of this on some win2000 machines, I have decided to change RecordsLocation by either using JumpFileReturn to a small dummy file, or to move/change the A5W.INI file as recommended.

I have the JumpFileReturn method working fine, but the A5W.INI modification seems like a cleaner/better solution. So, here's what I've got. Since I've never done this before, does anyone see any obvious problems or pitfalls? I've cleaned it up as much as I currently feel comfortable doing. I'm also wondering if I really need the ToolTipDisplay=On, the NewFileDialog=yes, or the KeypadShortcuts=YES for a runtime distribution. Also, do I need the [Headers] if nothing is being set under that heading?

So, here's what I've currently got:

[MMXTechnology] MMXEnableCheck=1

[ToolTips] ToolTipDisplay=On

[RecentFileList]

[MUI] KeypadShortcuts=YES

[Preferences]

[Fonts]

[Directory] RecordsLocation=C:\Bsb_data

[View] NewFileDialog=yes

What I'm thinking is that all I may need is this:

[MMXTechnology] MMXEnableCheck=1

[Directory] RecordsLocation=C:\Bsb_data

Comments? Recommendations? Chastisements? ;-)
