Forums General Discussion alternative or multiple configuration?

I was wondering, because I keep my config files on a seperate partition, if it were possible to configure mirc with alternative save/config path? eg. instead of using %appdata%\roaming]\mirc it could use d:\config\mirc

I do have windows 7 starter, and I know about mklink but I would like something I could copy the shortcut if needed it.

thanks

I think the easiest way to do this, is to copy the mIRC.exe to d:\config\mirc and put your config files there. Then on your desktop (or where ever you create your shortcut), have the shortcut point to d:\config\mirc as the path for the executable.

Not having Windows 7, I can't give you exact correct assistance.

It's not necessary to have multiple copies of mIRC.exe, simply add the following to your mirc shortcuts:

-rC:\config\mirc

Put in a new directory for each mIRC. If you just want to load a new mirc.ini, not the entire dir, use -iC:\config\mirc1.ini

-r does the following:
