Well, if you use Write..., Read... is just one less parameter.

They are APIs meaning that you just call them aand they sort out the where part. You don't need to search through the file, the API does that.

I then have to assume you don't understand the anatomy of an INI file.

An INI first off hase a filename. You should specify the full path to the INI.

Within the file, you have "Sections". They are the ones with [square brackets].

Within each section you have "Keys". They are on the left side of the '=' and the values are on the right.

If a Key does not exist, it will be created if you assign a value to it.

So then... setup an INI file on a share with write rights. Create a section [Computers] and add keys for every computer you want to include or exclude, depending on positive or negative logic. If you want to track progress you can also create sections for each computer and keys beneath them to flag.

That concludes INI 101...
