CODE Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile] @="Chat File" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\DefaultIcon] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\mIRC\\mirc.exe\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\mIRC\\mirc.exe\" -noconnect" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open\ddeexec] @="%1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open\ddeexec\Application] @="mIRC" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open\ddeexec\ifexec] @="%1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open\ddeexec\Topic] @="Connect" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc] @="URL:IRC Protocol" "EditFlags"=hex:02,00,00,00 "URL Protocol"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\DefaultIcon] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\mIRC\\mirc.exe\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\mIRC\\mirc.exe\" -noconnect" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open\ddeexec] @="%1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open\ddeexec\Application] @="mIRC" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open\ddeexec\ifexec] @="%1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open\ddeexec\Topic] @="Connect" And then copy the mIRC files from c:\program files\mIRC That's all you need to do The nice thing about this is that you can include you INI files and anything else you want.

I have a 2 year old mIRC folder which I copied over everytime I formatted, and executing mirc.exe seems to import the relevant registry entries, including the irc:// protocol. The only thing I needed to do is execute a reg file containing my registration information.

You think you know so much. Group: Members Posts: 351 Joined: 6-June 03 Member No.: 4110	In case anyone cares, this is how I do it. ECHO Installing mIRC 6.1. mkdir c:\progra~1\mirc xcopy /e d:\mirc c:\progra~1\mirc REGEDIT /S d:\mirc\install.reg ECHO mIRC 6.1 installed. ECHO. The install.reg file uses the information provided by un4given1. The serial number gets merged later on as part of one file that registers all of my software at the same time.

Coffee Aficionado Group: Super Moderator Posts: 3716 Joined: 14-July 04 From: Coffeeland Member No.: 24596 OS: Windows 7 x64	I add the same as un4given1, and the registration part and also the uninstall infos (because there WILL be a new build in not long from now...) CODE Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\mIRC] "DisplayName"="mIRC" "UninstallString"="\"c:\\Program Files\\mIRC\\mirc.exe\" -uninstall" Easy enough to add and it doesn't hurt (I guess I like to be torough). oh, the registration part: CODE REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mIRC\License] @="XXXX-XXXXXX" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mIRC\UserName] @="username" (where username is your registered name and X'es are the actual registration number, of course...) If you want mirc customizations, just install it all and configure it, then put it in $OEM$\$Progs. Always worked 100% for me.

C'mon you apes! You wanna live forever!? Group: Patrons Posts: 3455 Joined: 17-May 04 From: Puertollano, Spain Member No.: 20147	i personally own a custom script, so my only problem it's to unzip the script onto a no_spaces folder like for example C:\utilities\mirc . mirc reg it's not needed if you run the file mirc32.exe
