What is it called in XY when you can create custom folders for settings, icons etc so XY reads, rather from the default location but a custom location ?

Are you talking about Advanced Topics - Admin Settings (via Admin.ini)?

I have it setup at another computer; basically I place custom icons and all my settings are within a custom path on the computer, this would be related to admin.ini ?

I would use the
/ini command line switch.
E.g., for my release notes screenshots I start a parallel instance with its own settings, like this:
Code: Select all
E:\XY\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe /ini=E:\XY\XYplorer\appdata_screenshots\

The command line switch is different then the method I know I used previously; is there any method to which I can find out how I setup custom paths on another computer and give you the info and you can tell me the method used ?

Define the desired path in the file
"Startup.ini" like this:
Replace "%appdata%\XYplorer" with your path.
Startup.ini should be where XYplorer.exe is.

Why are you asking us to play this guessing game instead of just looking at how you've configured your other machine?
