Windows 11 and GetPrivateProfileSection to read .ini files.

[DickyP]

Has anyone had experience of using GetPrivateProfileSection / string etc in Win 11. Can't find any relevant bits on internet but what works on Win 10 (and Win 7, 8.1 before it) just doesn't work on 11.

*** I hate Windows 11!!

Can now ignore this problem as stated as I have run the cause to ground - the .ini file is on my NAS. For some reason best known to itself at random intervals the new Win 11 PC wants the drive's credentials verified. Seems to be about every 7 to 10 days, despite instructions to remember the credentials
