I need to make some changes to my win.ini file but I can’t figure out how to do it. When I attempt to edit it the computer won’t allow me to do it saying it is a read only file. But I do need to edit it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right click on the Win.ini file. Choose ‘properties’. See the little check box that says “read only”? Uncheck it, and hit apply.
At least, I think that’s how it works in Win98. I don’t have a Win98 box in front of me, so I can’t verify. If it doesn’t work, go to a DOS prompt, change to the directory where Win.ini lives, and type:
attrib -r win.ini
Hit return. That will do the same thing.
Thanks to both you and Kneadstoknow for answering so quickly. Problem with the *.ini file has been solved.
