SUMMARY
=======

This article describes the location of Winsock Proxy (WSP) Client configuration
information.

MORE INFORMATION
================

WSP Client does not write information to the registry. WSP Client writes pointer
information in the System.ini file in all operating systems. This information
refers to the Mspclnt.ini file. The default locations for these files are:

- <drive>:\%SystemRoot%\System.ini

- <drive>:\Mspclnt\Mspclnt.ini

This method is used to allow for backward compatibility.
