WriteLog moved all writelog.ini settings into the Windows Registry many
versions ago. At startup you can choose to Export all those registry settings
into a text file that looks like the old writelog.ini file. You can name it
whatever you want. You can then Inport the file into the registry. You edit
this temporary file to change the registry settings.73,Ed W0YK

WriteLog To find the writelogl.ini file when you open up WL click on export and
it will save the writelog.ini file. You can then edit it and re-import using
the inport function on the same menu.Keith was right it is now in the
registry.On 2/21/2023 1:51 PM, Bob Wolbert, K6XX wrote:> Keith,>> Thank you.
