Why is the CFSOUND.INI file being ignored ?

This is by far our most commonly asked question. Almost 99% of time, it is because your files have double filename extensions. I.E. "01C.WAV.WAV" or "CFSOUND.INI.INI". Later versions of Windows hide the file extensions in explorer, so by putting ".WAV" or ".INI" in the filename, you are actually causing a duplicate file extension. 

To turn off the hiding of file extensions in Windows XP, do the following:

• Click on Start
• Then Click on Control Panel
• Next, Click on Folder Options
• Click on the View tab on the Folder Options Window
• Scroll down to "Hide Extensions for Known File Types"
• Click on the Check box to the left of it to remove the check mark
• Click on the Apply Button
  

Now the complete file names will be displayed in Explorer, and any folder, and you can view and remove the duplicate file extensions.

Here's a short video showing how to correct this problem:
