Changing Settings

   When the Setup  program creates  the SYSTEM.INI  file, it  assigns default
   values to many of the settings. Other settings have values that correspond
   to the type of hardware you are using.

   Some settings  listed in  this document  do  not normally  appear  in your
   SYSTEM.INI file. Most of these settings have a built-in default value that
   is present whether  or not  the setting appears  in SYSTEM.INI.  You might
   need to change one or more  of these values to  improve the performance of
   Windows or applications with your system.

   To change the values of the settings  described in this document, open the
   SYSTEM.INI file  and edit  it  by using  a  text editor,  such  as Windows
   Notepad. Do  not use  a formatting  editor, such  as  a word  processor in
   document mode; it can  corrupt your SYSTEM.INI file.  For more information
   on how to  use Notepad, see  Chapter 12, "Additional  Accessories," in the
   Microsoft Windows User's Guide.

   Any changes you make to  SYSTEM.INI settings do not  take effect until you
   restart Windows.

   Caution:   Do not  change  any settings  that  are not  described  in this
   document. If you need to change  additional settings, refer to the Windows
   Resource Kit  for  the  Microsoft Windows  Operating  System  Version 3.1.
   Always back up your SYSTEM.INI file before you change any of its settings.
   That way, you can restore the original file if you make incorrect changes.
   Be careful when  making changes to  the SYSTEM.INI file.  Your system will
   not work properly if you edit this file incorrectly.
