mIRC does not have a built-in way to handle multiple users with different scripts and settings. This article will guide users toward easily creating multiple '''Virtual Profiles''' using a single installation of mIRC. Each of these virtual profiles will have the ability to run their own set of scripts and have their own set of options. | mIRC does not have a built-in way to handle multiple users with different scripts and settings.

| − | + | == Create a shortcut for each profile == | |
The first thing you must do is create a shortcut for each individual profile. It is recommended that you name each shortcut something appropriate so you will know which shortcut is for which profile. To create a shortcut, navigate to the mIRC executable folder using the command below. Right click on the '''mIRC.exe''', go to '''Send to''' and click '''Desktop'''. The standard folder of mIRC.exe is "C:\Program Files (x86)\mIRC" or "C:\Program Files\mIRC". | The first thing you must do is create a shortcut for each individual profile.

Creating a new folder is necessary for each of the separate profiles. The location of that folder is not very important. For example, a good place would be in the '''My Documents''' folder. The folder will be used to keep the individual mIRC settings as well as all the related scripts. | Creating a new folder is necessary for each of the separate profiles.

This change in paths must reflect the real paths of the end-user. An example of these paths would resemble the following example: | This change in paths must reflect the real paths of the end-user. An example of these paths would resemble the following example: | ||

Clicking '''OK''' is the final step, and the new Virtual Profile is ready to go. The next time that mIRC is launched using this link, it will open the settings for the new profile. | Clicking '''OK''' is the final step, and the new Virtual Profile is ready to go.

| − | [ | + | = Other settings = |
| + | There are a number of other settings that can be used to manipulate mIRC as well. The following sections outline just a few of them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Connect to a server on startup: == | ||
| + | A connection can be made to a server, immediately upon mIRC starting, using the following syntax: | ||
| + | <pre>-s<server:port> [-j#chan1,#chan2,#chan3]</pre> | ||
| + | |||
| + | For example: | ||
| + | <pre>-sirc.undernet.org:6667 -j#mircscripting</pre> | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Change mIRC.ini location ($mircini) == | ||
| + | Another option is to change the location of the '''mIRC.ini''' (the main mIRC configuration file): | ||
| + | <pre>-i<path\to\mirc.ini></pre> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Switches can be combined as needed. | ||
