Having everything related to mIRC in the same directory is convenient for me. It makes for easy backups, and I can see an 'overview' of all the files I have relating to mIRC, since they're all there in that folder. It may be bad practise on multiuser systems but the fact is I'm not on a multiuser system.
Secondly, if you install mIRC two times they will both share the same settings in %appdata%. *this* is retarded, I have several mIRC installations for different things and now if I ever decide to make more I need to create a mirc.ini file in each dir which is an added hassle. Having an option in the installer would be a *good* thing.
Thirdly if I ever install mirc on someone else's PC just to use temporarily I will need to delete the files in both Program Files\mIRC *and* %appdata%\mIRC which is even more of a hassle. Especially since I may forget about the existence of %appdata%\mIRC which would keep incriminating logfiles seeing as mIRC logs by default.
