The difference between Linux and windows settings
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux and windows have very different ways of
| storing their installed program settings.
| Before windows 95 came along they used to be
| very similar. With Linux all program settings
| are stored in individual configuration files.
| These are often well commented files which can
| be changed to modify the default behaviour of
| programs. Pre-windows 95 these type of files
| were called *ini files and served the same
| purpose. Current versions of windows use what
| is called a registry database which is a
| single file where all program settings are
| centrally stored. There are advantages and
| disadvantages to these two methods. I will
| discuss each one. First of all I will ramble
| on about the windows method.
