Using Vista or 7? Look in C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windo ws\win.ini .

From the looks of it, in Win7 that would be C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windo ws\win.ini
That's an assumption given that I have no folders inside the VirtualStore folder on this PC.

"Documents and Settings" is an alias for "Users", but yes, that would be the canonical path
