Populate input boxes from ini file values

[seandisanti]

lmao! No doubt! I'm about to head out to OutBack and see the movie Narnia with the kids and wife. So, I'll get the 'Fat Bastard Steak' , 'Fat Bastard Onion', 'Fat Bastard Beer', and the 'Fat Bastard Pop-Corn'!!

you should upgrade the 'Fat Bastard Beer' to the "half price happy hour long island". it's perfect for washing down the ayer's rock strip, and making family fun less of an oxymoron.

@lyledg I believe that if you mentined at the begining of your post that you were using a Command Line called RoboCopy.exe from MS and wrapped around with you GUI, it would be easier for the others to help you. Even though I haven't seen your code I believe this is what you want....

I recently did a script for the company that I worked for, using RoboCopy.exe to migrate data for the user old computer to the new computer over the network. Some advice, double check your Run() or RunWait() systax if the systax is wrong robocopy will backup everything into %Windir%\System32 folder.

@SmOke_N How was the movie I want to take my kids to see it....
