           Summary: IniFileMapping not Implemented (ini on win9x => Registry
                    on NT)
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-kernel
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: wine.dev(a)web.de


With Windows NT, windows did a switch from INI-Files to the Registry.

Older Applications (win9x) use INI-Files with the Functions around
Get[Private]ProfileString (implemented in dlls/kernel/profile.c).
This Set of Functions are Modified with Windows NT in such a way, 
that the Informations are redirected to the Registry.
The Redirection is done on all Levels (INI-File, Section and Value) and the
Rules for the Redirection are saved in:

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/IniFileMapping

Wine has no support for this and need to change settings twice.
This is a lot of extra code to maintain and also introduce Bugs, when only one
Place is changed. (Example is the Default Printer).
