Jeff,
Sure, it just depends on the extent of the "damage" that needs to be
resolved. As I mentioned, you can try and resolve the .ini or just nuke
it. I took the easy path given I only have 2 hotkeys which rarely get
changed <smile>.

The code in my apps doesn't delete the INI but keeps the custom hotkeys in

ones as new versions of the app come out.

Vic,
Yes, I do this in weevent. Here is the code at the top of the .vbs file:
' if our .ini file doesn't have my specific version set correctly then
it is an old
' .ini file. Because of conflicts lets just delete the old and start
with a fresh
' empty one.
If IniFile(weeventINI).Number(optionsSectionName, "my_ini_version", 0) =
0 Then
If fso.FileExists(WeeventINI) Then
fso.DeleteFile weeventINI, TRUE
End If
IniFile(weeventINI).Number(optionsSectionName, "my_ini_version") = 1
End If
Regards,
Doug

Doug,
The reason I had problems with the *.ini file is that I deleted some
hotkeys. When the standard register hotkeys subroutine ran it found
hotkeys
in the old INI file that didn't exist. This caused an error. What is the
best way to handle this? Is there an app with examples I can look at that
you are aware of?

Vic,
I never liked the idea of having to remove older .ini files. I know
Aaron likes this method (smile). A very simple way that I've gotten
around this is just put a version entry in your .ini. You would first
verify the version is correct and if not you can clean it up or just
delete it if necessary but you will certainly need to add the updated
version to your cleaned up one or your newly created one. This way
you'll always just work.

Hi all,
I have updated the Device Status app. I updated my E-mail address and
added
a Device Status submenu on the Apps menu in the window-eyes control
panel.
Device Manager has to be running to see this menu.
Important: You will have to delete your devicestatus.ini file before
installing this update or you will get an error.
If there are any problems, let me know.
Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,
