Hi,
I'd like to have a second setup on an encrypted drive. How do I separate the two? I've copied the program files, edited the NBI to point to the new folders, but it just activated the existing setup.

What will happen if I remove the entry in the registry that tells it where to find the data file? will it default to taking it from the folder it was started from?

Thanks.

If you create a shortcut for launching a particular Newsbin binary, and pass in the full path of the .nbi file you want to use as a parameter then it will launch using that configuration file regardless of the current setting of the registry key that points to then last used .nbi file.

Itimpi is correct. You don't even need another copy of the program files. Just two shortcuts and two NBI's.

That works thanks!
