Using the SafeHouse SDW.INI File

Each of the SDWxxxx Windows utility programs included with SafeHouse will check for the existence of a file named SDW.INI in the same directory as the utility is run from. If this file is found, the utility will look for a [section] which has the same name as the utility and retrieve initial values for any specified parameters. For example, SDWCREAT.EXE will look for the section named [SDWCREAT]. Parameters specified on the command line override SDW.INI settings. Individual parameters have names identical to their command-line equivalents without the leading slash.

The SDWMAP.EXE and SDWCREAT.EXE utilities will also automatically create, evaluate and update a section named [LASTRUN] which is used to remember the last-used encrypted volume filename and virtual drive letter.

Example INI file:

[SDWMAP]
map=c:\mydisk.dsk

[SDWCREAT]
description=Confidential Files
expandableto=128
quickcreate=1

[SDWEXPAN]

[SDWACTIV]

[LASTRUN]
volume file=C:\TEST0000.DSK
map drive=S:
