Where Does mIRC Store Logs and Settings?

mIRC logs folder plus mirc.ini config under Roaming AppData on Windows.

Last updated

mIRC writes channel and query logs into a logs folder under its Roaming AppData dir, with mirc.ini holding servers and options beside it. Logging toggles live per window under Logging options.

Portable installs keep the same files next to mirc.exe instead. The whole folder copies cleanly between machines.

Where mIRC stores this, by platform

Windows
%APPDATA%\mIRC\logs

mirc.ini one level up. Paste into the File Explorer address bar. Enable timestamps in Logging for greppable history.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move mIRC to a new PC?

Copy the mIRC AppData folder with mIRC closed. Servers, scripts and logs arrive together.

Why is my logs folder empty?

Logging is off for those windows. Enable it under Tools, Options, IRC, Logging, then check after new traffic.
