Configuration file (cpuz.ini)
------------------------------

The configuration file must be named cpuz.ini and be present at the same directory level
as cpuz.exe. It contains the following :

[CPU-Z]
TextFontName=Verdana
TextFontSize=13
TextFontColor=000060
LabelFontName=Verdana
LabelFontSize=13
PCI=1
MaxPCIBus=256
DMI=1
Sensor=1
SMBus=1
Display=1
ShowDutyCycles=0

- TextFontName : Font used for the information boxes. 
- TextFontSize : Size of the font used for the information boxes. 
- TextFontColor : Color of the font used for the information boxes. Value is expressed in hexadecimal, and consists in a classic Red/Green/Blue color code : RRGGBB 
- LabelFontName : Font used for the label boxes. 
- LabelFontSize : Size of the font used for the label boxes. 
- Sensor : Set to OFF (or 0) disables sensor chip detection and voltages measurement. 1 to enable.
- PCI : Set to OFF (or 0) disables the PCI information. This disables chipset, SPD and, depending on the hardware, sensoring information. 1 to enable.
- MaxPCIBus : Sets the maximum PCI bus to scan. Default value is 256.
- DMI : Set to OFF (or 0) disables the DMI (Desktop Management Interface) information. This concerns BIOS vendor and version, motherboard vendor and revision. 1 to enable. 
- SMBus : Set to OFF (or 0) disables SMBus information : SPD, and, depending on the hardware, sensoring information. 1 to enable.
- Display : Set to OFF (or 0) disables the video card information reported in the validator. 1 to enable.
- ShowDutyCycles : Set to 1, switches the alternate clock computation method based on duty cycles. 0 to disable.

Parameters
----------

-txt=filename : Launch CPU-Z in ghost mode (no interface appears) and generates the register dump file (.txt) 
in the same directory as the exe file.

-html=filename : Same as "-txt" except it generates the html report.

-core=id : Displays clock speed of core #id (id can be set from 0 to Number of cores minus one).


Keys
----
