Set_CFG_Value()

The Set_CFG_Value() function can be used for manipulating configuration files by setting key=value pairs. If you need more control over what is written to the configuration file, see Set_CFG_Item(). If you need to set values in a standard Windows INI file ([sections] containing key=value pairs), see Set_INI_Value().
