All tools may store some global data into the mcutools.ini file.The tool first searches for this file in the directory of the tool itself (path of the executable tool). If there is no mcutools.ini file in this directory, the tool looks for an mcutools.ini file located in the MS Windows installation directory (e.g., C:\WINDOWS).
The following listing shows two typical locations used for the mcutools.ini files.
C:\WINDOWS\mcutools.ini D:\INSTALL\prog\mcutools.ini
If a tool is started in the D:\INSTALL\prog\ directory, the initialization file located in the same directory as the tool is used ( D:\INSTALL\prog\mcutools.ini).
But if the tool is started outside of the D:\INSTALL\prog directory, the initialization file in the Windows directory is used ( C:\WINDOWS\mcutools.ini).
