I use different Newsbin configuration (.nbi) files that I select based upon my download source (.nzb files or header downloads). In the past, the default configuration used during Newsbin startup would be the same as the one used during the prior execution. However since I upgraded to ver. 6.72 this functionality has become inconsistent, and it may take several attempts (double clicking the .nbi file in the data folder), to change the default configuration.
It's not a big problem, but it has caught me by surprise a few times when invoking Newsbin via a .nzb link.

The configuration comes out of the registry. I'm not really sure what to tell you to be honest.

Use one shortcut for one source and a different one when you use the other source. Pass the name of the proper .nbi in the shortcut.

Thank you. I understand how to start Newsbin using various configs, I just have to break the habit of downloading an .nzb file and letting it execute via the browser because it's the default application for the file extension. It looks like this might be a Firefox issue since it actually had multiple entries in the application configuration for .nzb files, all pointing to Newsbin.
Thanks again for the suggestions.

You can set Newsbin to monitor a folder for NZB's and that monitor can have it's own download an unrar paths set. Then if you just save the NZB to the folder, Newsbin will pick it up and downloaded with the NZB specific settings.
