Where can I get the INI Editor?

The editor is FREE and can be downloaded from this website: LeechGuyIniEditor.zip.

Use WinZip or WinRar to unzip the file. You don't need to follow some complex installation routine to get things running. Simply double click the file LeechGuyINI.exe. It might be a good idea though to copy this file to the same directory as where you have installed LeechGuy, but that's optional.

Reading the current newsgrouplist

After starting the editor, you will see this window:

Some info on the 6 buttons:

	OPEN Here you can select the LeechGuy INI file (LeechGuy.ini). The editor will automatically read the list of newsgroups known to LeechGuy.
	SAVE After editing the list, you can use this button to save the changes in the ini file.
	CLEAR This button clears the entire list!
	PASTE Using this button you can paste a list you retrieved from another source, for example from the NewsGuy website.
	SORT This will sort the entire list. Note: there is no UNDO for this!
	EXIT Quit using the editor - an unsaved list will be lost!

Now click the "Open ini-file" button.

A dialog appears, where you must select the INI file of LeechGuy. Locate the LeechGuy.ini by selecting the directory where you installed LeechGuy.

Select the file and click the "Open" button.

The Editor will now show all the newsgroups currently stored in the INI file:

Note:

• The wite space area works similar to what you are used to using Notepad and allows you to type, delete, add etc tekst (ie. Newsgroups).
  
  
• In the upper left corner, you will see which INI file is being edited, in this example "C:\Program Files\LeechGuy 2.0 v0.929\LeechGuy.ini".
  
  
• The upper right corner shows you the number of newsgroups read (here: 236).

Adding newsgroups

Newsgroups can be added by:

• Manual entry (use 1 line for each newsgroup!)
• Pasting information retrieved elsewhere

Note: use 1 line for each newsgroup!

An example of an externally retrieved list can be a list copied from either NewsGuy or an overview like this one below (You can select this list and paste it into the editor - a more advanced list is included in the zip file: examples.txt):

Editing the list

Newsgroups can be edited as if it was a simple notepad tekst file.

Use the "Sort" button to sort the groups alphabetical order. This allows you to find a group more rapid in LeechGuy.

Saving the changes

Use the "Save ini-file" for saving the altered list into the LeechGuy INI file.

use the "Exit" button to quit the program.
