	You need this plugin to change some advanced settings for Miranda NG, because some tweaks do not have entries in Miranda's settings dialogs. You need to realize that using these advanced tweaks is basically unsupported and might have unknown side effects.		== Purpose ==


	~~== Background ==~~
	Miranda stores all core and plugin settings in its database. The database is, in some ways, comparable to the Windows registry, though it is much simpler but it basically serves the same purpose to Miranda than the registry does to Windows and most Windows applications. The advantage of the database solution is that it is portable and easy to backup – no need to collect settings from the registry or reinstall everything – your profile database holds everything, settings, contacts and messages.
