### 4.2.7 Choosing the kind of change to make

On the Configuration Manager Action page, select the kind of change you want to make to a configuration. Some actions distinguish between variable-name and fixed-name sections, or between variable-key and fixed-key settings; to determine which to select for the section or setting you want to change, see §33.2.7 Understanding fixed-key vs. variable-key settings.

Under Select action to be performed, click a button to act on a section or a setting. Once you have selected an action, click Apply action. Provided there are no duplicate settings or sections in any of the files for the current session, the Configuration Manager switches to one of the following:

• the Section page, to select a configuration section

• the Setting page, if only one section applies

• the.ini file page, if both section and setting are already determined.

Duplicate sections or settings

However, if the Configuration Manager finds duplicate settings in a section or duplicate sections in a file, instead of proceeding with the action you specified, the Configuration Manager changes your selection to one of the merge options; see §4.2.7.8 Merging duplicate sections or settings. You can change it back again, but the Configuration Manager will continue to nag you about duplicates until you resolve them.
