BE VERY CAREFUL HERE! There can be SEVERAL INI files in your Chessmaster
directory and subdirectories. Most notably, every time you create a new user,
you create a new directory under your Chessmaster directory, and a copy of
CM.INI is placed there. So, the upshot is that you MUST edit the INI file of the
user that you are logging in as (named USER.INI, where "USER" is your login
name), rather than the CM.INI file that is located in the Chessmaster directory
proper.

If you log in as "Guest", then the CM.INI in the Chessmaster directory is the
one that is used. I would advise against this, however....
