This is the recommended behaviour for all programs on multi-user systems (ie. everything since Win95/98/ME) and up until now mIRC been going against best-practice in leaving settings in the installation directory. What happens if someone on a Limited User Account wants to use mIRC? You think they should be forced to use the administrator's settings with no way to change them? What about multiple administrator accounts, should they all be forced to use the same settings?
Just about every program released in the last 6 years uses the User's Directory for storing settings, how many others have you called "retarded"? mIRC is now using the correct directories for all relevant data and that is a very good thing for anyone who even remotely cares about security or multi-user functionality.
You were moaning about mIRC's lack of support for Vista and now that it supports it fully (plus XP, 2000, and NT) you're still complaining because of the changes made to facilitate that! Unbelievable.
