"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)."
