An .ini file contains configuration settings and preferences for a program or application. INI stands for initialization; these files are usually found on computers running Microsoft Windows, but are not necessarily limited to the PC world.
An .ini is a text file that stores settings is key/value pairs such as “font = arial” or “timezone = EST”. Because of the simplicity of the ini file format, many different programs use them to store the various pieces of information they need in order to operate.
In general there is no harm associated with .ini files, so their presence should not be cause for worry. They are system files which can be safely ignored. In fact if you delete them, some programs may not function correctly.
