I am working on a win32 program that requires users to create user names with passwords and log in. I assume that I need to create a file with user information and then read from it when the user tries to log in but have no idea how to go about doing so. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

 [USERS]
  // based on number of user there will be USERn section (n is no of user)
 noofuser=2 
  
 [USER1]
 username=alok
 password=alok
 [USER2]
 username=fury
 password=fury
