LokiControl:Configuration
Loki Control is automatically configured as part of the Installation process.
Installation creates and populates a configuration file called lokicontrol.ini which the application uses on startup. On a fresh installation (when the .ini file does not exist) some fields are populated from user input during install.
You will usually not need to view or change this file.
