The ini files are replaced with every version change.
You loose any change that you may have made to them.

After any new version install, you have to go back and remake any customization, 
including library paths, permited output path, image file format, display gamma

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than
standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has
set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the
banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.
