The question comes up once in a while. But I think the point here is, that to
learn how to deal with the U2 REGfile (which all the instructions plainly say
you *must* do), you need to peruse REG-READ.ME (or command HELP REGISTRY or REG
or REGDATA or REGEDIT); and if you read either of those documents, all
questions should instantly evaporate. Lots and lots of files are named *.INI,
but I do not recall anybody who confused them with WINDOWS.INI, SYSTEM.INI,
CONTROL.INI, whatever.INI...

Changing the nomenclature is not simply a matter of renaming a file here and
there... Its many many files, and the work, I suspect, is going to fall on my
head, and then a ton of testing. Why not give up this crusade and just get
comfortable with it? Nobody's obliging you to use this. But I must tell you
that we set this up for our convenience, not your's or any other third party's.
If they want to avail, fine. If they don't, fine.
