I guess that could work....except I don't access my mIRC with a shortcut, or most of my programs for that matter..., and for script testing purposes, even if I did do it with a short cut, there's times when your IN the folder itself doing things. So, that would mean that I would always have to access mIRC.exe with the short cut, or else, if I click on the executable, it'll create the default mirc.ini and use those defaults..
So..its not a permanant fool proof method, but thanks for the suggestion.
