 2.3.5.14 The Location of the my.ini File
 ........................................
 
 In MySQL installations prior to version 4.1.5 it was customary to name
 the server configuration file `my.cnf' or `my.ini' and locate the file
 either at `c:\my.cnf' or `c:\Windows\my.ini'.
 
 The new MySQL Configuration Wizard places the `my.ini' file in the
 installation directory of the MySQL server. This helps associate
 configuration files with particular server instances.
 
 To ensure that the MySQL server knows where to look for the `my.ini'
 file, an argument similar to this is passed to the MySQL server as part
 of the service installation: `--defaults-file="C:\PROGRAM
 FILES\MYSQL\MYSQL SERVER 4.1\my.ini"', where C:\PROGRAM
 FILES\MYSQL\MYSQL SERVER 4.1 is replaced with the installation path to
 the MySQL Server.
 
 The `--defaults-file' instructs the MySQL server to read the specified
 file for configuration options.
