INI File and User Settings
725+
==========================
726+
727+
By default, Open Rails keeps the user's settings and options in the Windows Registry.
728+
729+
If you want to have a set of alternative settings which bypass the settings kept in the Registry,
730+
then you can use an INI text file for this.
731+
732+
Create an empty file OpenRails.ini in the same folder as OpenRails.exe and start Open Rails.
733+
The program will attempt to load settings from the file, using default values for settings that
734+
cannot be found and populates the INI file with these settings.
735+
736+
If you change the settings and options, then these will be saved automatically to the INI file.
