All tools store some global data in the mcutools.ini file. The tool first searches for mcutools.ini in the tool directory (path of the executable). If mcutools.ini is not found in the tool directory, the tool looks for mcutools.ini in the Microsoft Windows installation directory (for example, C:\WINDOWS).
C:\WINDOWS\mcutools.ini D:\INSTALL\prog\mcutools.ini
If you start the tool in the D:\INSTALL\prog directory, the tool uses the project file located in the same directory as the tool ( D:\INSTALL\prog\mcutools.ini).
If you start the tool some other way, the tool uses the project file in the Windows directory ( C:\WINDOWS\mcutools.ini).
Global Configuration File Entries documents the sections and entries you can include in mcutools.ini.
