**Of course, in my situation, I eventually just made a copy of the INI after running it for the first time, and copied that backup file over GALAXY.INI whenever I wanted to reset the count. :-) I did the same thing for the lemmings game that was so popular in the early 90s. It only ran on a floppy drive, and after a few executions, it would pop up with the shareware registration screen, and wouldn't let you play again until you quit and restarted it again. I found the difference in the ini file, and at first, I'd edit it in the ini file, then I got smart, and just copied a clean ini over the one already there. It worked, never got the popup screen again. Of course, the only time it got used was when a friend wanted to play the game, since I couldn't use it myself, and he only showed up like once a week at most. My copy of the lemmings game came with my soundblaster card, and I figured I'd paied enough for the card, I didn't want to pay for a game I couldn't play too.
