I could not find the ini file with my application name. Should i search for it any where else?

The documentation says it is written in to the win.ini file. It also says that the system maps most .ini file references to the registry. Please read the documentation. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms725504.aspx[^]

Sorry. The file name doesnt need to be the application name. Syntax: WriteProfileString ("file name", "section", "key", "string") where the first parameter is the file name in which the key entry has to be made.

Thanks & Rgds, Sri..

Huh? If you want to specify the file name by yourself, you need to use WritePrivateProfileString. WriteProfileString takes just 3 arguments.

WriteProfileString writes to the registry, not just an ini. To remove a profile string from the registry you need to get the key such as theApp.GetAppRegistryKey, tunnel to the key you want deleted and then use RegDeleteKeyEx.
