I have created a utility that will make managing your engines in Winboard faster and easier than the traditional way. For those people who are sick of editing the winboard.ini file, then this utility is for you. With just a few clicks of the mouse button you can add, deleted and change engine options with this new tool.
I have created a small web page for it, just click on the link below where you can find the link for downloading it (only 15KB's!) and for a better discription of the utility.
Cheers,
Tom.

Seems to be something related to activeX. May be it is deactivated at your computer?

It's in the winnt\system32 folder on my W2K computer. Try searching the windows directory.

I'm not sure who's fault it is, but I like to blame Microsoft by default.
Anyway, here is a link that should solve your problem...

Thanks Volker, I'm glad it's working well for you. Actually, I have another utility coming out in a week or two that may be considered better than this. Just puting the finishing touches on it now.
Cheers,

What about automatically creating the backup copy of winboard.ini?

Actually, it does backup your winboard.ini file. Every time you start the program, it will back up the current winboard.ini file to old_winboard.ini. Because this happens every time it starts, this means the old_winboard.ini file will be overwritten. So I still recommend that people backup their winboard.ini file just in case it takes a while to discover a problem and need to restore back to the original winboard.ini file.
Cheers,
Tom.
