Windows NT Environmental Variables ini file

I have a program that normally installs on a workstation and has an ini file
that sets user specific variables within the program. The problem is that
when it is installed on a teminal server all users are accessing the same ini
file. I was told that I could create a directory for each user and place the
ini file in the individual directory. Then delete the original ini file. I
was also told I would need to set an environmental variable that would find
each users ini file. I am unsure how to do that and could use some advice.

Thanks,

Steve
 
Did you put the terminal Server into "install mode" before
installing the application? That should take care of most ini-files
issues.
Documented here:

186498 - Terminal Server Application Integration Information
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=186498

which also lists the compatibility bits. But you shouldn't need
them when install mode makes sure that each user gets a private ini
file in the windows directory in their home directory.
