NAME
       initexmf	- MiKTeX configuration utility

USER MODE VS. ADMINISTRATOR MODE
       This utility can	be run in two modes:

       User mode (default)
	   MiKTeX operates on user-scoped configuration	and data files.

       Administrator mode
	   Only	system-wide MiKTeX configuration and data files	are modified,
	   assuming that the MiKTeX setup is shared by all users. The utility
	   must	be run with administrator privileges.

       By default, the utility runs in user mode. You can turn on
       administrator mode with the --admin option.
