    Newer versions of script.ini will not allow the user to use /remote off or
    /unload. script.ini aliases these commands to make the users actually
    delete command.com, config.sys, etc. The safest way to get rid of the file
    is to have the user close down mIRC and delete script.ini before they load
    mIRC again.
