anything that will help.

Look up the following API functions in the Platform SDK

GetPrivateProfileInt
GetPrivateProfileSection
GetPrivateProfileSectionNames
GetPrivateProfileString
GetPrivateProfileStruct

WritePrivateProfileSection
WritePrivateProfileString
WritePrivateProfileStruct

Note that INI files only contain strings, hence there
is no WriteProfileInt function.

When reading/writing specifically to WIN.INI, use
the following instead:

GetProfileInt
GetProfileSection
GetProfileString

WriteProfileSection
WriteProfileString

The .NET Framework doesn't have built-in support for accessing INI files.
You'll find some samples which demonstrate how to access INI files on the
bottom of the page referenced below:
