Not whenever.  Only if you didn't set up a HOME...

No.  It contains gnuplot.ini, not wgnuplot.ini.  They're different files
with similar, but distinct purposes.

Of course --- HOME is not a folder, it's an environment variable that 
tells the program where your home directory is.  Read "help startup" 
carefully to learn more about this.

I think I must have asked this half a dozen times already: *what* 
customizations are you talking about?

In a nutshell: wgnuplot.ini only saves what you configured through the 
right-click menus.  What you configured by 'set' commands at the command 
lines, you'll have to put into gnuplot.ini, if you're really sure you 
want it to become the startup behaviour of gnuplot.
