With new versions of windows now supporting multiple-users by default, it would be nice if miRC could store it's per-user stuff (Name, email, alt.nick) in the user's application data directory, or somewhere so that it isn't shared between all users, meaning that multi-user systems can use mIRC without having to change the nick back all the time :-)

I agree, but there is a work around you can use for now. Place the mirc.ini in your app data folder, then create the shortcut for mIRC to include (in the arguments):
-iC:\path\to\mirc.ini
And that should force mIRC to use that ini file. Just create a shortcut for each XP user and have the shortcut use a different path.

Is there an Application Data folder that one could point to in their shortcut, where the contents of said folder changes according to which user is logged on? (I dont use Users so I don't know)
Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!

Sure is. You could make a shortcut in "All Users <Startmenu|Desktop>" pointing to "X:\Path to\mirc.exe" -r"%Appdata%\mirc". This resets $mircdir as well. Make sure the folder (\mirc) exists first in each users %appdata% folder, or mIRC will use the path where mirc.exe is.
You should also copy servers.ini (or *.ini, but the others will be created by mirc anyway) as well.

Not sure if it was the bordum, or maybe just the want to get experienced in C#, but with some help from two ppl in the undernet C# channel, i was able to make a small dialog that allows you to select between mirc profile ini's. You can then select "use Profile" and it runs mirc with the profile ini file you selected.
Let me know if you want the file. it comes with the exe, and the C# source if you want it. Also, let me know what you mIRC directory is. I dont have it where u can select the direcotry mirc is in, but I might work on it.

Scratch that, it now works based on where the file is. I made it so you put it in your mric directory, and it scans for the ini files for you. You then select the profile from a drop down, and click use profile. Simple >:D
