I have figured it out.
If anyone else was interested in also doing this, it's really quite simple.
If the mIRC.exe file is in the same directory as the mirc.ini and all other files, these are the ones it uses, rather than directing itself to the ..\application data\mIRC folder
Simply:
1) Make a folder for each instance of mIRC, anywhere you want.
2) Copy all ..\application data\mIRC data into it.
3) Copy all ..\program files\mIRC data into it.
4) Make a shortcut for the .exe from each folder and label appropriatly.
Done. Each shortcut will now access the appropriate .exe and run it using all the settings contained within that folder. Simple.
No need to rename .exe or .ini files.
I am so happy.

PS. By dropping everything into the one folder, you can also make your mIRC identity portable. Just save the folder to a USB or other writable removable device, and it will run neatly on another computer.
