Good links - working directly with the windows API is also an option, my 5

You already know about GetPrivateProfileString and WritePrivateProfileString from the answer of gtest_vs.
You can find examples on this functions in MSDN.

Also consider using a helper library or class instead of raw APIs. This can simplify things a lot.
For example you can use this INI Reader\Writer class[^] from CodeProject.
It comes in different versions for different platforms.
With a simple search you can find more classes and libraries like this.
