Steve,
UI-View must be shut down, before you edit the .ini files. When UI-View starts, it reads
the files, then when it shuts down it re-writes the entire .ini file with the values it read at
startup. If it's already running with the original values, it'll just write them back into the .ini
files, regardless of what changes you might have made to them.

Here is a copy of my original post on this subject.....
I am very perplexed and hope someone can point out where I can make a change to stop the following happening!
I have changed the Finger server text in both the UiView32.ini file and the UInws.ini file and in both files click on SAVE to save the changes.
I even reopen the files to check that the finger server information did not change!
As soon as I start Uiview32 both of these files revert to the original server information so that I see the following lines in both files,
[WXSVR]
TITLE=WxSvr
FQDN=wxsvr.net
FQDN-wx.aprs-is.net
Yes I deleted the line FQDN=wxsvr.net but it reinserts itself!
I am running Uiview32 in Admin mode and Uiview is on the C Drive outside of the program folder.
This problem exists on 2 desktops and a laptop all running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
Strangely a Desktop running Windows 10 in a beta version does not have this problem yet Uiview is Mounted on the C Drive in exactly the same way!
Is there a fix please? And yes I did SAVE changes made in both files!
Thanks in advance
Steve, KF6WAX

For North American users, PMap 9 (Precision Mapping 9.0) along
with PMapServer 9 can provide street level mapping for all of North
America. They can be installed without hassle on Windows 7 & 8.
PMapServer is available for download on the UI-View website.
However, Undertow Software is no longer selling new copies of
PMap 9, but existing owners can continue to use it as long as they
can get it registered.
Users of Windows Vista, 7 or 8 should not install UI-View below
Program Files. Instead, create a folder elsewhere. To view UI-View's
built-in context sensitive help file, download and install WinHlp32.exe.
Useful hints and tips about setting up and using UI-View are
available on Stephen WA8LMF's website.
