To allow multiple configurations under a single installation of the program the /c command line parameter is provided. To use it do the following:
- Make a copy of the settings directory and rename it to a name of your choice (no spaces allowed) e.g. something like alt_setttings
- Run the program with the parameter /c followed by the name of the directory you just created e.g. XmltvGUI /calt_setttings
- Running the program normally will now use a seperate set of settings to when the program is run using the above command line
