Add new MIME type on Windows 2003 to enable downloads of ".ini" files.

Problem:
Jargon Reader client cannot access ".ini" files from a Windows 2003 server.
Solution:
By default, security settings on Windows 2003 server only allow access to files with certain predefined extensions (such as ".html", ".xml", ".jpg" etc.). To allow Jargon Reader to download ".ini" files, do these steps using the IIS Manager:

* Select the web server node
* Click "Properties"
* Select "Mime Types"
* Add a new MIME type to serve files with the extension ".ini" (for V3 apps).
* Extension: ".ini"
* MIME Type: "text/plain"
