How do I edit the INI file?

To change some of FixLinks's less commonly used settings, you'll need to edit its configuration file.

FixLinks and the other PPTools add-ins store settings in one file called PPTools.INI

PPTools.INI is stored in the folder you chose when you installed FixLinks. Unless you changed the default setting, this is C:\Program Files\RnR\PPToolsV2\

Here's how you edit this file:

How to edit PPTOOLS.INI

If you have the free PPTools Starter Set, just click "Edit the PPTools.INI File" to open PPTools.INI automatically. Otherwise:

  • Start Notepad
    • Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, click Notepad, or
    • Click Start, click Run, type "notepad" (without the quotes), then click OK
  • Open PPTools.INI
    • Choose File, Open from the main menu bar
    • Browse to your PPTools folder (the folder where you installed FixLinks; normally, that's C:\Program Files\RnR\PPToolsV2\
    • Type "PPTools.INI" (without the quotes) in the File Name text box
    • Press Enter or click Open

Now that you have PPTools.INI open in Notepad, you can edit it:

  • Locate the [FixLinks] section heading
  • Edit the line you want to change or, add a new line directly beneath the [FixLinks] line and type the new line you want to add
  • Choose File, Save from the main menu bar to save the file, then choose File, Exit to quit Notepad
