If you're developing in Windows 95 or newer, forget INI files and use the Windows Registry instead. Although it's a little more complex from a programming point of view, it's the correct way of storing the information that you'd previously keep in an INI file.
In Windows 3.0 - 3.11 you can use functions like ReadPrivateProfileString and WritePrivateProfileString to read and write INI files. They still exist in Windows 95+ for compatibility, but bear in mind that INI files have a maximum size of 32k whereas the registry does not.
