Warning: There are several other .ini files in the SONAR folder, but you should not attempt to
edit or modify these files in any way. Changes to these other files could cause SONAR to stop
operating properly.
Before making any changes to any of the .ini files, you should make a backup copy in case you
make a mistake. After you have made your changes, save the file and close Notepad. SONAR
reads the settings in these files only when it first starts up. Therefore, if you change any settings
while SONAR is running, you should exit and restart SONAR in order for the changes to take
effect.
