Don't rename the CumulusMX.exe file name as it must use that mixture of upper and lower case. The main configuration file is always called ''Cumulus.ini'' (it must start with a capital 'C') and is located in the directory in which you installed CumulusMX.exe. All the characters used within the configuration file must be within ASCII range.
=== Cumulus 1 ===
As downloaded, the Cumulus 1 executable is called '''cumulus.exe''' and all in lowercase. IfThe youconfiguration renamedfile that executableit filecreates toon sayfirst ''Cumulus1.exe'' ituse will stilltake work,the butname of the main configurationexecutable file then takes that name (i.e.keeping ''Cumulus1.ini'') into the same foldercase) lackingand oneadd section,the although another configuration file will be created calledextension ''Cumulus'.ini''' in(instead thatof folder,.exe) this second oneand will havebe the one missing section. The default name "cumulus.exe" resultsstored in onlysame onefolder '''cumulus.ini'''as (allthe lowerexecutable, case)it in that folder,will containingcontain all sections.
 
If you renamed that executable file to say ''Cumulus1.exe'' it will still work in the same way so the main configuration file then takes that name (i.e. ''Cumulus1.ini'') in the same folder but this file will be lacking one section, and another configuration file will be created called ''Cumulus.ini'' in that folder, this second one will have the one missing section.
Additional configuration files, also called Cumulus.ini, can be created by Cumulus 1 to store the position of the main screen and the NOAA parameter editing screen.
 
'''For Cumulus MX''', both file-names must start with a capital letter, and a If you renamed your executable file, you may still find a "cumulus.ini" file created by Cumulus 1 containing a [[#Section:_MainForm|single section]] to record when Cumulus closes where you positioned your Cumulus main screen so next you start Cumulus 1 its main screen can start in same position. For example I have mine on a second screen, and it stays there! A second ''Cumulus.ini'' may be stored in the reports sub-directory, this only contains a [[#Section:_MainForm|single section]] and relates to the screen used for NOAA reports.
An additional configuration file, also called Cumulus.ini, can be created by Cumulus 1 to store the position of the NOAA parameter editing screen, this will be created the first time you edit NOAA parameters and will be stored in the "Reports" folder this only contains a [[#Section:_MainForm|single section]] and relates to the screen used for NOAA reports.
