mIRC & Local App Data Directory Problems

[OuttaControlX]

Ok i recently bought a new PC, came with vista, nopt as bad as people say once you turn the useless junk off and pointless crap so it dont hog a gig of RAM just to run

TO THE POINT!...

Recently installed mIRC and went to load one of my scripts, alas! script not found in "C:\User\Roaming..." blah blah blah.... now unless there is a way to make mIRC or vista use C:\Program Files\mIRC i have to rewrite many portians of my script. How can this be done? is it possible?

Thank You in advance for anyhelp

It should be possible to just copy the files you put into c:\program files\mirc to that directory?

If you had written your script with $mircdir in mind, there wouldn't be any problems. $mircdir will help you in the long run, especially when used in conjunction with $qt, which wraps the text with quotations.

Type /help $mircdir and /help $qt within mIRC to learn more about them.

You can launch mIRC to use another path with the -r parameter.

-r<path>

Sets the data path where mIRC saves mirc.ini as well as other files and data. If -r is specified without a path, the path is set to that of the mIRC executable.

For example: "C:\Program Files\mIRC\mirc.exe" -r"C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\MyScriptFolder\"

Keep in mind, any programs set to use Program Files will be denied access, and will default to mIRC's default path: %APPDATA%\mIRC\.

It sounds like you've been screwing with UAC, and ended up turning it off, killing off filesystem virtualization.

Do you have UAC on or off? Based on what you've posted it sounds like you turned it off.

Turn it back on, and see what happens.

Just copy all the scripts to the %appdata%\roaming\path instead... it works perfectly.
