The config files are kept in the C:\ProgramData\AutoVer folder (or for Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AutoVer). If you are running AutoVer outside of the Program Files folder and it is writeable, that local folder will be used.


AutoVer.ini contains all global settings which are not watcher settings. Most of these settings can be set though the UI (email settings must be edited via this file).

Typical settings are shown below.


For the [Email] section to be active, this setting must be set: EmailOnError=1
