I want to be able to store my usersettings for later use or when I run it on another machine.
How can I use TotalCommander like in the old days where everything lay in the wincmd.ini?
I keep reinstalling TotalCommander and having to set it all up again over and over at work when I retank my machine, that happens once in a while. Also I am using virtual pc with totalcmd, so I have to set up my stuff there as well. And once I log on with another of my users it's all over again. Feel like I've done this 100eds of times over the years.
Where is it stored today? Maybe I can export the regsettings for later use.

Some tools to help you:

AFAIK, the registry does not store anything critical for TC. At least, it's the case on my own computer
One more advice: use %COMMANDER_PATH% envvar instead of specific paths. In other words, paths should be relative rather than absolute.

Move the wincmd.ini and wcx_ftp.ini into the programdir and add the entry:wolf5 wrote:Anyone know of a way to allways keep wincmd.ini with the executable?
Code: Select all

Not only for easyness, an ini-file should be in its program directory. Because it's the first place the system will look. Only if it cannot be found there, the sys will check the dirs in the windows-path.
This also will keep the system cleaner in case of removal of a program.
One of the apps I use, has during the installation a popup with options to choose the location of its ini-file. At least, if one is so dumb to choose for the windows-dir, one knows where to find it.

I would love it when this option was default in stead of placing the ini in the windows dir. On every system I give help. I install TC but have to think about this option every timeNot only for easyness, an ini-file should be in its program directory. Because it's the first place the system will look.
