Setup.ini Configuration Tool

Setup.ini Configuration Tool is a small-sized tool that was developed specifically to aid people in helping you create and edit configuration files used by Bopup Messenger.

Portability advantages

You are not required to go through an installation process, as this product is portable. This means that the Windows registry is not going to be updated with any new entries without your prior approval.
You should also know that if you copy the program files to a USB pen drive or other similar device, you make it possible to take Setup.ini Configuration Tool anywhere with you and run it on any PC.

General and message related options

This utility enables you to configure a very large number of options for a new INI file, while it can also help you edit an old one. For example, it enables you to specify whether you want the IM to always stay on top of other options, show it in the taskbar, enable a keyboard shortcut for it and launch it at Windows startup.
It is also possible to include received messages on replying and forwarding, reply to an entire group when dealing with these kind of messages, use the “Enter” button to send a message, as well as create multiple away memo and enable the app to set a specified one after 15 minutes of not using the PC.

Enable logging and configure some hidden options

Aside from that, you can enable logging and transferring history, select the default directory for saving received files and create subfolders with date or sender’s name, choose how to display users in the contacts list and input the Bopup communication server address.
You can also deal with some hidden settings (not shown in the options interface), which enable you to restrict users from exiting the messenger and opening links and URLs shown in messages, disabling the “Remember me” option, limiting the amount of shown messages in conversation dialogs and prevent the tool’s uninstallation from the Programs and Features panel.
Last but not least, it is possible to preview all the settings you can have chosen and create a new “setup.ini” file to a custom location on the hard drive.

Conclusion and performance

This piece of software does not use a large amount of CPU and memory in order to function properly, while the response time is good. The interface is not particularly appealing, yet it is suitable to all types of users.
Overall, Setup.ini Configuration Tool is efficient and reliable, and a pretty good choice for Bopup users. In our tests it did not pop up any errors, crash or hang.
