C:\Documents and Settings\user\Dati applicazioni\FlashFXP

now I want to install a new copy of flashFXP (in the same PC)
and I want make a new setting only for this copy,
but the FlashFXP.exe take always the setting from the same place

When you installed FlashFXP you selected to user Per-User Settings. In this configuration you'll need to create a new windows user for each different configuration.

In order to undo this you need to open regedit

Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FlashFXP\
Delete the key "APPDATA"

Copy the files from "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Dati applicazioni\FlashFXP" into your FlashFXP folder.

Before continuing make sure FlashFXP is correctly loading the right settings.

Now create a new folder for your second set of settings and copy the FlashFXP.ini into the folder.

Then you need to create a windows shortcut to FlashFXP.exe and make the startup path point to your new settings folder.

If you did everything correctly it should work..

This should be in the help file and explained more clearly, Linkster? :D

oh yes :)

now it's ok, tnx bigstar :D

only now I have found in the help this info:

Advanced --> Network Specific Settings

To have each user's settings be stored in their own application data folder
Edit the registry manually, or paste this into an empty text file and save it with a .reg extension..close and run.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FlashFXP]
"APPDATA"=dword:00000001


but there isn't write the undo process :p

What I meant was that we need to add it to the help file. The help file only shows how to enable it, not disable.
