Text configuration file format

LinkFreeze uses text format configuration files to store its settings. You may edit these files manually, this is especially useful if you are using manual install of HotlinkBlocker.

Configuration file should have the same filename as a DLL file but with a .ini file extension ( by default it is LinkFreeze.ini ) and should be placed in the same directory among with the DLL file. There is an example file in the LinkFreeze installation package. The following is a list of configuration directives with short explanation:

RegistrationName =
RegistrationCode =

Put your registration name and code in these directives to unlock trial limitations.

NotifyOrder =

Optional ISAPI filter notification order. Possible values MEDIUM, HIGH, LOW. IIS restart is required to change this parameter.

LogRewrite =

Optional "Log modified URLs" option. Possible values True or False. Default value is False.
