great, so i assume i point to the ini file?

what happens when i exit?
i.e.

1.
i start default configuration (xyplorer\xyplorer.ini)
i load xyplorer1\xyplorer1.ini

where will the configuration changes be saved? (xyplorer.ini or xyplorer.ini)

2.
if i manually manually a second instance default configuration as above
i load xyplorer2\xyplorer2.ini

are there any conflicts?

I haven't tried that myself. I'd recommend making a backup of your data folder before testing that.
