Mirandaboot.ini

mirandaboot.ini is used by Miranda for various things before a specific profile is loaded. It is located in your program folder.

Miranda can run quite happily without this file present, but if you need to specify advanced startup settings and your file is lost/damaged/missing, the standard file contents are below:

;This file contains the information required to get Miranda up and running,
;i.e. everything before a database is loaded

;Settings relating to the location and loading of the database
[Database]

;ProfileDir
;The directory to search for database files. If it's a relative path then
;it's relative to the directory containing miranda32.exe. Default is .
;You can use environment variables, so NT people may like %APPDATA%
ProfileDir=%APPDATA%\Miranda

;ShowProfileMgr
;Selects the test to use to decide whether to show the profile manager on
;startup
;"never": Only show it if the profile to use can't be guessed by any means
;"yes":   Always show it
;"smart": (default) Show it if the command line doesn't contain a db name
;         that exists or there is more or less than 1 db in the ProfileDir.
ShowProfileMgr=smart

;DefaultProfile
;Name of the profile to use if there's a choice. If Miranda is run with a
;command line parameter then that is used instead of this setting.
;Default is empty
;If ShowProfileMgr=never then this profile is run without question
;Otherwise the profile manager is run as usual but initially this profile
;is selected
;
;0.4.1+ (2005/05/16) Only: This string can contain environment variables, e.g. %USERNAME%
;
DefaultProfile=

;AutoCreate
;"yes": If DefaultProfile 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

;AutoExec is a system for batch addition of multiple settings to the
;database. See http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/miranda-icq/Miranda-IM/docs/autoexec_sample.ini?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain
;for documentation
[AutoExec]

;Use
;"yes": Install .ini files automatically
;"no": 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
Use=prompt

;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
;If this contains a relative path, it's relative to the directory containing
;miranda32.exe
;Default: autoexec_*.ini
Glob=autoexec_*.ini

;Safe
;A space-separated list of database module names known to be safe to alter
;Default: CLC Icons CLUI CList SkinSounds
Safe=CLC Icons CLUI CList SkinSounds

;Unsafe
;A space-separated list of database module names that could be alter to
;malicious purposes (eg by faking a login server to steal passwords)
;Default: ICQ MSN
Unsafe=ICQ MSN JABBER AIM IRC

;OverrideSecurityFilename
;Sysadmins 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 matches the name given here.
;If this is used, make sure it's suitably random and hence not likely
;to be downloaded.
;Default is empty (no override possible)
OverrideSecurityFilename=

;Warn
;"all": Warn the user before each setting change is made
;"notsafe": (default) Warn before each change to a setting in a group
;           that isn't listed in the 'Safe' setting
;"onlyunsafe": Warn before each change to a setting in a group that is
;           listed in the 'Unsafe' setting
;"none": Never warn the user
Warn=onlyunsafe

;OnCompletion
;What to do with the ini file once it's imported
;"delete": Delete the file from the disk
;"recycle": (default) Move the file to the recycle bin (same as delete
;           if you've disabled Windows' recycle bin)
;"rename": Add the string in RenamePrefix to the beginning of the filename
;"leave": Leave the file as-is. Note that this could cause it to be
;         imported multiple times until it's moved.
;"ask": Show a dialog to ask the user
OnCompletion=recycle

;RenamePrefix
;A string to add before the filename if the 'rename' option is used for
;OnCompletion. This can include a path specifier to move the file, eg ..\
;Default: done_
RenamePrefix=done_

; decisions about how Miranda loads plugins
[PluginLoader]
; if enabled, will ask the user if they want to re-enable a disabled plugin
