Basic Config question - my.cnf gets renamed !!

[barryp]

Although MySQL seems to be working on my Windows 98 m/c I feel its very sluggish.

I just have a basic my.ini in Windows Folder (see below)
When I copy a CNF file to c:\my.cnf & run WINMYSQLADMIN it gets renamed to my_cnf.bak (& presumably ignored)
Why ??

If I remember it correctly, winmysqladmin has a section for configuration. You should make all changes there, as winmysqladmin will overwrite your configuration files. //Daniel

Winmysqladmin is also a security hazard, use it at your own risk.
