How can I tell Total Commander where to find total.ini?

[PeterTBCarp]

..and if inireloc performs an illegal op and bombs, where's the registry entry (more importantly, where's the reference saying where the registry entry is?)?

That Help file is ancient.

[icfu]

It's in the manual for professionals of course, the HISTORY.TXT.
Why don't you know that?

Okay, for posterity I've worked out where the registry entries are, and people might find this post:

In the Registry - for - wincmd.ini - location - name - value - is:

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\GHISLER\wcx_ftp.ini
for the FTP ini
and
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\GHISLER\wincmd.ini
for the tccmd.ini - sorry, wincmd.ini - file.

Note that the reference is in:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander]
in the registry.

Note also that the references are to the 'name' - rather than to the location.

Note, finally, that this seems to force the location for ALL users of the computer to one *relative* location, i.e. %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\GHISLER\ for everyone. It doesn't seem possible for each user to set his own preference.

Assuming that each user has permission to set his location... but that's an entirely new can of worms.
Vista is very big on permissions, in case you hadn't noticed..

What about updating your signature? It' quite outdated. Looks like you haven't been here for ages.

[PeterTBCarp]

I just went off to look in the history file.

There ain't one!

Really nice joke, ic fu!

You're welcome. I had a good laugh with your signature as well.
You should not write tutorials, people might find, read them and end up more confused than before.

There ain't one!

Every standard TC installation has a HISTORY.TXT.

[Hey, Lefty, speaking of signatures, could you explain yours? Would you consider using punctuation..? ]

[PeterTBCarp]

Ah haaa - buried down there in the program folder.
People shouldn't be burrowing around in the program folder; you know that.
It's Vista Rules (noun) now!


BTW, TC does a rotten job of installing for multiple users, don't it?
We really need IM here...

[icfu]

The standard TC installation directory is c:\totalcmd\, not %programfiles%.

TC offers all possibilities to install TC for multiple users during setup, the only question is what settings should be default, has more than once been discussed.

The search tags you have used for your tutorial might lead you to the light, when using the forum search.

It's from a Mac ad:

It is not a real signature - it has different content in different postings, and it is too long - the forum doesn't allow the user to enter signatures of that length.

Ah I see - quite irritating

Ah; very subtle.
Why are you picking on Vista in a WinCmd forum? You've been a bad boy in the past and Vista is at last making you behave. So accept it, learn it and like it.

While we're at it, try this quick quiz: where is that signature originally a ripoff from? Two famous sources, actually...?

Yep, mine's a fake sig, too. Too small a limit.

And I agree - they're irritating. Like jokes: funny the first time - only. After that they're a distraction, a waste of time and a nuisance.
But until they're banned we have to abuse them. That's the way of the world..
Ban them!

Here we go. . v v v

Why do I have to search through German in this forum? - Swahili? Baah! Every Search requires a resetting of forums to search, and do I search TC or TC7 Bugs? And even the English link in the home page doesn't take me to English.
