General presets.ini Runtime Errors

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying presets.ini to your appropriate Windows system directory. Stardock Corporation typically does not release WindowBlinds INI files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.

An incorrectly installed INI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
