Content of the file
See: mirandaboot.ini
Description of parameters
[Database]
Settings related to the location and loading of the database.
ProfileDir
Allows you to specify the directory to search for database files. You can use environment variables.
If it's a relative path then it's relative to the directory containing Miranda*.exe file.
To comply with Windows security guidelines, it is recommended that you keep your profile in %APPDATA%\Miranda NG.
If you do not specify directory, then default will be used, which is Profiles
subdirectory in Miranda NG root folder.
ProfileDir=
ShowProfileMgr
Decides whether to show the profile manager on Miranda NG startup.
Accepts values:
never
— Show it only if the profile to use can't be guessed by any means.yes
— Show it always.smart
— (default) Show it if the command line doesn't contain a database name that exists and there is more or less than one database file in the ProfileDir.
ShowProfileMgr=smart
DefaultProfile
Name of the profile to use if there's a choice. It can contain environment variables, e.g., %USERNAME%
.
If Miranda is run with a command line parameter then that parameter is used instead of this setting.
If ShowProfileMgr=never then this profile is run without a question. Otherwise the profile manager is run as usual but initially this profile is selected.
Default value: It is empty.
DefaultProfile=
AutoCreate
Accepts values:
yes
— If DefaultProfile setting or the command line parameter gives a profile name that doesn't exist then that profile is created.no
— (default) The profile manager is shown in this case.
AutoCreate=no

it will store password in Windows Credential Manager.
Default value: 0
RememberPassword=0

AutoExec is a system for batch addition of multiple settings to the database.
Use
Accepts values:
yes

— Disable the AutoExec system entirely.prompt
— (default) Prompt the user before each installation. This setting doesn't affect the decision of whether to display further prompts.

Glob
A global expression containing the files to watch for database settings. This will be checked just after database load and continuously all the time Miranda is running.

Default value: Facebook GG IRC JABBER SKYPE TWITTER VKontakte
Unsafe=Facebook GG IRC JABBER SKYPE TWITTER VKontakte
OverrideSecurityFilename
System administrators may find it desirable to install settings without prompting the user. In that case all prompts and security will be overridden if the name of the .ini file matches the name given here.
If this is used, make sure it's suitably random and hence not likely to be downloaded.
Default value: It is empty (no override possible).
OverrideSecurityFilename=
OnCreateFilename
Defines .ini file that will be executed every time new profile is created.

— (default) Move the file to the recycle bin (same asdelete
if you've disabled Windows' recycle bin).rename
— Add the string from the RenamePrefix setting to the beginning of the filename.leave
