Reads an INI file. An INI file usually has the extension .INI and is used for storing configuration information. INI files are used by many applications and follow a standard format as follows:
[section_name1] key1=value1 key2=value2... [section_name2] key1=value1 key2=value2... etc.
There may be any number of sections and any number of keys within each section.
The ReadIniKey function can return the value of a single key and it can also return the names of the all the keys in a section as well as the names of all the sections.

File name. You should always supply a full path for this argument. If you supply just a file name, the system will assume that the file is in the WINDOWS directory. This behaviour may be changed in future versions. For maximum compatibility, always use a full path.
Section name. If this argument is an empty string, the function will return the names of the sections in the file.
Key name. If this argument is an empty string and argument 2 is not an empty string, the function will return the names of all the keys in the named section.
