Where are all profile-independent settings stored?

Is the file "mirandaboot.ini" still used?

I prefer to store these settings NOT in Registry and not user %APPDATA% folder but in a local, portable file/folder in Mirandas installation directory.
How can I achieve this?

All settings are stored either in the database (.dat inside the profile), or in the profile (Tox.json, Telegram's .binlog, etc.), or in the Miranda folder (mirandaboot.ini)

Setting ProfileDir in mirandaboot.ini to a blank value will force Miranda to look for the profiles in /Miranda_root/Profiles

So you can just set ProfileDir=
Create the Profiles directory near Miranda32/64.exe
Move your profile from %AppData%\Miranda NG to Profiles

The result will be something like /Miranda_root/Profiles/myprofile/myprofile.dat
