Smit Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I don't know why they moved away from INI files. They were much easier to edit, backup, replace etc. and when you deleted an application folder it went with it. They remind me of how Linux uses conf files for each app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_notm Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 QUOTE: Vista does this.REPLY: As far as CTP, it hasn't done this yet. Installation process is still the same as it has always been. 586650336[/snapback] Actually, yes, the CTPs do already do this. Nothing in the windows folder can be deleted or modified unless you are a member of the Trusted Installers group, which no one is given access to by default.

.Neo Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Why do these threads always have to be hijacked by deluded OS X zealots ? 586652280[/snapback] Because as of yet there isn't really anything else to (seriously) compare Windows with when it comes to the home market. This thread turned out to be a discussion of how the registry could be improved. Mac OS X is a good example of this. If "System X" would have a better system we would use that as an example. Please explain deluded btw? Last time I checked I didn't imagine the fact that Mac OS X' (or Linux for that matter) way of doing things turns out be better in the long run performance wise.
