DEX.INI Commands Explanation

Interested to learn more about DEX.ini file and what does it effect? I found a post under (http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2007/09/weekly-dynamic-dexini-settings.html) and found it interesting, below the parameters definition for DEX.ini File:

SuppressChangeDateDialog=TRUE - Turns off the Date Change dialogue that opens at midnight
Synchronize = TRUE - Forces a synchronization of the chart of accounts format
OLEPath=\\server\folder\ole - Sets the path for linked and embedded files. This is often set up inconsistently in the initial setup. You'll need to include your path in place of file://server/folder/ole
