Local Configuration Settings

The file CAPWIN.INI is located in each local computer's Windows directory. Values in this file may be changed in order to alter the behaviour of CAPITAL on an individual computer.

It is important to note that configuration settings may be global (affecting all running copies of CAPITAL), user specific (affecting the currently logged in user only) or specific to a particular computer only.

These settings relate to computer specific behaviours only.
