locating config file?

Hi! I read the options help text file and modified my init.txt to change some things to my taste. Nothing extravagant, just change the % the HP changes red and to make Dungeon Crawl forget the name I last chose (I die... a lot). However, removing the # didn't help. Even though it tells me the config file is e:\games\crawl\settings\init.txt on the opening screen, I'm suspecting there is another one it is actually reading from. Where else does Crawl pull its setting preferences from?!?


For consistancy's sake, here is the init file I modified in the path it says at the opening screen
  Code:
# Crawl Init file
#
# On Unix systems (such as Mac OS X, Linux and the BSDs), you must copy
# init.txt to ~/.crawlrc or ~/.crawl/init.txt as:
#   cp init.txt ~/.crawlrc
#
# Lines beginning with '#' are comments.  The basic syntax is:
#
# field = value         or      field.subfield = value
#
# Only one specification is allowed per line.
#
# The terms are typically case-insensitive except in the fairly obvious
# cases (the character's name and specifying files or directories when
# on a system that has case-sensitive filenames).
#
# White space is stripped from the beginning and end of the line, as
# well as immediately before and after the '='. If the option allows
# multiple comma/semicolon-separated terms (such as
# autopickup_exceptions), all whitespace around the separator is also
# trimmed. All other whitespace is left intact.
#
# For descriptions concerning an option consult the file
#    options_guide.txt
# in your /docs directory. Also note that the ordering of the options
# is taken from that file; this is for presentational reasons only.
#
# Note that all boolean options (i.e. values of 'true' or 'false') have
# their non-default value commented out. You can toggle these by just
# uncommenting.
# Options with several values, e.g. drop_mode = (multi | single),
# usually have the first value as default.
#
# The options for monster glyphs and item colours don't matter for Tiles.
# Similarily, tile options are ignored in console games.

##### Ancient versions ##############################################
# If you're used to the interface of ancient versions of Crawl, you may

# clear_messages          = true
#
# And to revert monster glyph and colouring changes:
# include                 = 034_monster_glyphs.txt
# include                 = 052_monster_glyphs.txt
# include                 = 060_monster_glyphs.txt
