I'm aware that windows makes user specific maps. The file above is RICHARDX_VID_8631&PID_1128X_0.INI.

I know chankast makes use of this file. That's how it knows the names and type of each input on a gamepad or joystick. I know Chankast reads the file, but I don't think it stores anything here.

Code:

{67131587-3938-4857-8A2E-D99DC2C82068}

This is the only reference to an application or driver in the file. I'm not sure what it's referencing but since it's the only application reference in the file I'm pretty sure it's something related to DirectInput itself. Perhaps it's a reference to the joystick driver.

At any rate, these reference lines are not preceded or followed by Chankast's control map settings. It looks like that information is stored somewhere else.

I'm going to go get some tools from SysInternals to monitor Chankast when I make configuration changes. That should answer my question.
