;ProfileDir

;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=mantra.dat

;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

;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

;"notsafe": (default) Warn before each change to a setting in a group

;           if you've disabled Windows' recycle bin)
;"rename": Add the string in RenamePrefix to the beginning of the filename

Mantra, have you tried setting ShowProfileMgr to never? And if it doesn't solve your issue, please specify what version of Miranda you are referring to.

no i did not try the setting showprofilemgr=never
i use the last version unicode
but is there a guide about the mirandaboot.ini

[Tara]

no i did not try the setting showprofilemgr=never

Could you please give it a try then?

i use the last version unicode

That's not specific enough I'm afraid. Do you mean 0.7.8 which is the latest stable release? Or 0.8.0 build #20 which is the latest test version?

but is there a guide about the mirandaboot.ini

Unless I'm wrong, there isn't any now. Only the notes in the file itself.

Miranda will not start? Double check please if ProfileDir and DefaultProfile in your mirandaboot.ini are set correctly. Or post the content of your current mirandaboot.ini file - and please tell us what OS you're on and where exactly your mantra.dat and federica.dat files are located.

yes it's 0.7.8

Thanks for clearing that up.
