I still think that the built in lock for mIRC should only affect its individual directory rather than all mIRC.exe files on the PC for those of us that have multiple scripts. That way if there are more mIRC users in the household they can still chat given the option that they can either not lock or lock their favorite mIRC script. But thats probably just me though, and its no big deal if this can't be done. It was just an idea.
