Notes about the INI file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The INI file type is primarily associated with 'Initialization/Configuration File'. These files are typically ASCII text with various configuration options set into sections. The sections are usually designated by a term in square brackets (e.g., [section title]) followed by single lines listing the various configuration options. Note: This file type can become infected and should be carefully scanned if someone sends you a file with this extension. The special file DESKTOP.INI can also be used to control what and if files are shown by Windows Explorer in a particular folder.

Cannot access INI files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open INI files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
