[WriteLog] Writelog.ini location

[Gary AL9A]

Hal,

You can copy and paste your old ini file into the Virtual Store location. 
You may have to be logged on as administrator to do it.  Just rename the ini 
WL created for you in the Virtual Store path to something different.  I have 
multiple ini files in my Virtual Store location, writelogcw.ini, 
writelogssb,.ini, writelogrtty.ini, etc.  Each ini file has slightly 
different configurations for the way I prefer to run a particular mode. 
When its time to setup a new contest log I just rename one of the various 
ini files to writelog.ini and then run that one for the contest.  After the 
contest I just rename it again so I can tell which mode it is for.

Instead of using the Edit Writelog.ini utility in the WriteLog Programs 
group I just created a desktop shortcut icon that takes me directly to the 
Virtual Store directory where I can select and modify any of the various ini 
files I have.  I also created another desktop shortcut to take me directly 
to writelog.ini.  That way I can quickly edit something if needed in the 
current ini version that is set to run.  Of course, if you have WL running 
when you make a ini file change you will have to exit and restart for it to 
take effect.

73,

Thanks Don - I think that's what I will do.  It will be labor intensive
however.   What I want to do is drop a WRITELOG.INI from my old computer
into my new computer, and I'm not sure I can get to that protected
path.  However, I may be able to open up "edit" and cut and paste it in.
