Sorry I should have explained it better.
When INI_Open is called, the file is parsed to memory. Now lets say you use INI_WriteString to add some data (a line), it will write to memory, not the file. Only when you call INI_Save will everything be written back to the original file. Then lastly, you would call INI_Close which frees up memory ready for opening again (doesn't touch the file). So the only time the physical file is accessed is during INI_Open and INI_Save.
Hope that helped
EDIT: I redone the first post with a tutorial demonstrating a basic accounts system
