How to read listings in the SYS.INI document
In this document, settings in SYSTEM.INI are listed
alphabetically within the sections that contain them. These
sections appear in this document in the following order:
[boot]
[boot.description]
[keyboard]
[NonWindowsApp]
[standard]
[386Enh]
The settings will not appear alphabetically in the
SYSTEM.INI file. If you want to change a setting, you will
have to search for the setting in the appropriate section.
Many of the settings explained in this file are rarely
needed and will not appear in your SYSTEM.INI file unless
you add them yourself.
The syntax, purpose, and recommended method for changing
each setting appear in the following format:
SettingName=<value-type>
Default: This is Windows' built-in value for this setting.
Purpose: This paragraph briefly describes the function of
the setting.
To change: This sentence states the recommended method
for changing the value of this setting.
The <value-type> indicates whether the value should be a
number, a letter, a range of numbers, a Boolean value, or
something else. If you want to enable a Boolean setting,
you can enter: true, yes, on, or 1. If you want the Boolean
setting to be disabled, you can enter: false, no, off, or 0.
Many settings listed in this document do not normally appear
in your SYSTEM.INI file. Most of these settings have a
built-in default value that is present whether or not the
setting appears in SYSTEM.INI.
Setup assigns a value to each setting in the [boot] and
[keyboard] sections, and to the Device setting and its
synonyms in the [386Enh] section. These settings have no
built-in default values. These settings must appear in
SYSTEM.INI in order for Windows to function properly, so be
careful not to delete them.
