They usually copy their php.ini to c:\WINNT and it works. Their PHP usually is in c:\PHP or some such location. This is congruent with the explaination offered by James and the MSDN URL I quoted. Unless MS did really strange things with a simple fopen() there must be a more complicated logic behind this.
