Its the file the EXE uses for configuration information and stuff like that. They are usually empty, but there are some things that you can put in there that will affect how the exe runs. Like: hideRootWindow=True will hide that annoying extra task button in task bar in windows. Mine sometimes has some sort of color history information in it too.
How to get rid of it (if possible)? How to distribute this file (with settings in it) when building an installer? Is there a list of options like 'hideRootWindow' and what each option means?
Thanks,
Wiebe.

. When you set the options in your application, they are stored in this ini file. For a list of documented and undocumented settings, see Brian Renken's LabVIEW pages at http://labview.brianrenken.com/INI/ .
