I did this...
(Userfiles) U:PrevailToolsPVsettingsReg.exe
This little script will delete your ADS.ini and Prevail.ini files. It'll setup your Windows registry to hold the settings instead.
After running, the settings will be held in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareADSSettings and HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePrevailSettings
It's important that you reboot and redefine your Prevail settings after running this program.
Why do this? After running this program there will be no reliance on using the Windows folder for the two INI files. This is particularly of use when operating Prevail (3/4 or 5) in a restricted user environment (for example, when nobody has write access to c:windows) - it might be useful under Windows Vista.
As the settings will be held in the HKEY CURRENT USER registry hive then the settings will be unique for each user who logs in, and the settings will roam with their Windows profile.
