@MiSharyKsA9 The whole idea of trying to save it is to find the root address. you dont need to save it since its already a system file instead, you will trick it to believe you're "saving it as" so that it allows you to see/locate the exact directory/folder within which its saved/hidden. I hope this answers your question.

@MiSharyKsA9 when you go to file as shown in 0:27 the system locates the file path defaults as seen @ 0:29 - 0:34 thus allowing you to find and delete the unnecessary .ini that pops up at startup.
