If you use $mircdir and $scriptdir correctly it shouldn't matter what directory mIRC stores its settings in. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

This is necessary for mIRC to support multi-user versions of Windows. Originally Posted By: versions.txt 16/08/2007 - mIRC v6.3 [...] 20. [...] new installations of mIRC now save all settings in the User's "Application Data\mIRC" folder by default. However, if the installer or mIRC find mirc.ini in the same folder as mirc.exe they will use the mirc.exe folder for all settings. Users installing over an old version of mIRC should therefore see no change in behaviour. The installer is now also aware of administrator and standard user accounts and installs mIRC accordingly. $mircdir always points to the location mIRC is saving settings to, wherever that may be.
