Visual Studio 2005, nmake, tools.ini...BUG

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The docs say:
NMAKE reads Tools.ini before it reads makefiles, unless /R is used. It looks
for Tools.ini first in the current directory and then in the directory
specified by the INIT environment variable. The section for NMAKE settings
in the initialization file begins with [NMAKE] and can contain any makefile
information. Specify a comment on a separate line beginning with a number
sign (#).

This works in vs 2003...but it seems broken in 2005. I find it hard to
believe this would go unnoticed, but stranger things have happened. If
things have just changed and the docs just need to be updated, please let me
know.

Thanks in Advance,
Robert Conde
