## App Settings
Settings for each app are saved in corresponding .ini files in the /SETTINGS folder to maintain persistence, if a formatted SD card is installed. An updated .ini file is saved whenever the app is closed. To reset an app to default settings, the corresponding .ini file may be safely deleted and a new file will be created automatically when the app is subsequently executed. Alternatively, individual lines in the file may be deleted to reset only a subset of application settings. For debug purposes, note that some additional configuration settings may be found in the .ini file that are not configurable in the app itself.
Note: In firmware versions prior to 1.8.0, apps use the .ini settings file ONLY if the following configuration settings are enabled (in 1.8.0+ this is the default behavior and the Settings->AppSettings screen will not appear):

* Load app settings
* Save app settings
In firmware version 1.9.2 and later, there is a new App Settings application that simplifies access to the .ini files in the SETTINGS folder.
### blacklist
To disable specific apps completely, a text file named "blacklist" can be created manually in the SETTINGS folder using the Notepad application. Unwanted applications should be listed in this file using their case-sensitive application name (text that appears under the app's screen icon), and they will be disabled (hidden) effective on the next boot. List one application per line. (Requires 1.8.0+ firmware and an SD card)
## Config Mode
In some cases a PortaPack may start up intermittently in Config Menu mode, such as when the power button is pressed twice rapidly, or if a little electrical noise occurs when a USB cable is attached. If this occurs frequently (dark screen and blinking LEDs), the Config Menu code can be disabled using the Settings -> Config Mode app (which sets a flag in persistent memory to disable Config Menu activation).
