During the installation process, CorelDRAW! versions 2.0 and 2.01L create an entry in the WIN.INI file that tells the system where to look for necessary files (for example, CorelDRAW! font files) as follows: 

   [CorelDraw]
   dir=C:\CORELDRW
Also, the following line is added to the [Extensions] section 

   cdr=C:\CORELDRW\coreldrw.exe ^.cdr
where \CORELDRW is the default directory on drive C.
