===========================
A new feature in mIRC allows you to minimize mIRC and lock it with a password for strange eyes. If you control-minimize mIRC (keep the Ctrl-key pressed down while minimizing mIRC), it will be locked with your password. If no password was set previously mIRC will ask you for one. Later when you want to maximize mIRC you need your password to activate it. An extention of this feature in the /File/Options/General/Lock/ menu can be used to lock mIRC or certain channels for your children! Previous Tips (Become a mIRC Wizzard).
Shift+Mouse on Switchbar - Did you know that you can 'fast-close' a window in mIRC by clicking its button on the Switchbar while holding the SHIFT key pressed down??
/uwho - Ever wondered who you're actually speaking with? The /whois {nick} command shows you a lot of cryptic info in the Status window but the /uwho {nick} command will open a clear and informative User Central. Give it a try! You can also store address info of your friends in the User Central for future reference.
ALT + Minus - Press the key combination ALT and 'minus' simultaneous to access the windows' System Menu's (found under that little horizontal bar in every top left corner of ANY window in mIRC and windows). Here you can set the fonts you like, the logging options, save the buffer and set various other things for private and channel conversations.
/clear - Use the /clear command to flush away all old text you dont want to read again. /clearall clears all text in all windows!
Doskey - Remember that old doskey feature under DOS? mIRC has it too :-) Use the arrow up/down keys, eventually combined with SHIFT, to recall old commands and text lines.
/channel - The /channel command will open the Channel Central that displays all modes and bans set on your current channel.
/pdcc - Use the undocumented /pdcc {bytes} command to speed up your DCC sessions! It will pump your data packages away to the reciever, ahead of the confirmation of arrival. Try it, it works :-) Something like /pdcc 20000 will do fine.
