You can create your own encrypt/decrypt logic for the files, if your the only one that knows how to read the data, then your good, but no matter how you pack the data, there are many people out there that disect your code, and find it. So dont waste to much time into it, but once you include it golbally, you can make it harder for an average joe to modify ini file and such.

DaddyJ,

Wait though how do people decrypt your files?

You have any websites or anything?
