miktex.ini is no longer used in miktex2.5

The response to "e" and the forward search functionality is not
related.

MikteX2.5 will use for the response to "e" the default editor in the
option menu of YAP. You need the newest version of YAP (call first the
update manager) and it didn't work for me after the update out of the box:
I had to open the menu, select the winedt entry and klick on OK or the
confirm button (I don't remember what I did exactly).
