I was waiting for someone to reply with that. It's a matter of opinion. Putting mirc.ini in the folder with mirc.exe isn't really any more difficult than changing the shortcut. And when you have many scripts and are doing completely different things with mIRC and especially when you're testing things such as the current beta or your own scripts and don't want to mix things up, I find it's nicer to just keep everything separate. mIRC takes up very little space to install it multiple times, so there's not really any reason why you shouldn't do so. Yes, for people without much going on, changing the shortcut is fine and it IS easy to do. But for anyone doing a lot of stuff with mIRC, having separate folders is a much cleaner way to do so and isn't any more difficult to do.
