| On startup, WinSCP first looks for an INI file in the directory, where WinSCP executable is stored in ((Unless different location was forced using ''/ini'' switch.)); and then in the user profile directory. If it does not find INI file in either location, it looks for presence of its key in registry (The key is created by installer, so installed WinSCP uses registry by default). If it does not find that either, it creates an empty INI file in the directory, where WinSCP executable is stored in. If that directory is not writable, it creates an empty INI file in user profile directory. | On startup, WinSCP first looks for an INI file in the directory, where WinSCP executable is stored in ((Unless different location was forced using ''/ini'' switch.)); and then in the user profile directory.

| Tag ''Configuration'' shows either ''HKEY_CURRENT_USER'' Windows registry key or a path to an INI file. When Windows registry configuation storage is in use, it is also important under what Windows account is WinSCP running, to know what account the ''HKEY_CURRENT_USER'' refers to. For that refer to ''Local account'' tag. | Tag ''Configuration'' shows either ''HKEY_CURRENT_USER'' Windows registry key or a path to an INI file.
