# INI Section

All .ini files are organized into separate sections. These sections are identified by the section name which is always surrounded by square brackets, such as `[SectionName]`. Below each section of an .ini file are that section's keywords. Each keyword stores a value that you can retrieve by calling API functions. Often this value is used in applications as a way to store information for the next use, even after the application has terminated.

In order to change a keyword in an .ini file, the section you created in the INI File explorer must match the name of the section containing the keyword you would like to edit. Click a section on the INI Files explorer and press F2 to rename it, giving it the name of the section you would like to edit.

To create a keyword, right-click on a section in the INI Files explorer and select Add Keyword. Rename this keyword, giving it the same name as the keyword you would like to edit or create on the target system. Lastly, edit the keyword's properties in the property sheet to the right, specifying a value and the change made during the installation.
