wincmd.ini default location problem

[Spiderkeys]

I'm performing a huge repair of my crippled WinXP 64bit SP2 OS by replacing all registry files from C:\Windows\Repair.

Every file/folder is still intact, but when I launch total commander it won't read/use the old wincmd.ini which is in the total commader folder itself.

Instead it created a new ini file in Documents and Settings\Spiderkeys\Application Data\GHISLER

Problem is I want it to use the old one in it's own folder for portability reasons.

The only way to use it, is by me typing TOTALCMD64.EXE i="C:\Total Commander\Wincmd.ini"

But it won't use it by default, (Just by launching TOTALCMD64.EXE itself) big problem because I have a lot of batch files and ahk scripts pointing to the original one, and need it back as default.

So how can it be done, when total commander stores all its settings in it's current wincmd.ini which I don't want by default, and obviously cannot find any obvious way to change it.

Try inireloc tool from mr. Ghisler: http://ghisler.com/tools.htm#other

or create/edit parameter inifilename in key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander

Ahh thanks, that was relief, it got me worried, as the description said for 32bit only.

Before, I had an idea of creating junctions just pointing to GHISLER folder, but then it ignored that, and created another one, but this time in C:\Windows! (even worse!)

Anything thanks, it works now, i'm now back in business...

Parameter /i is used for specifying INI for particular TC instance. As it was mentioned above, INI relocation tool may set default INI location in registry. Anyway, if your INI is in TC directory, you can add UseIniInProgramDir=7 to its Configuration section to make TC using it regardless of registry settings (portable mode).
