Not sure if this is the right section but it looks like it would be the best. I just started playing 2 accounts at once and notice my settings will not stay separated - sound and video. Is there a config file somewhere that is based on accounts I can edit?

Do I need to have 2 different Eve folders and have each client point to it's own folder? I hope not as that is plain ********.

thanks

Vista/7 Steps
Creating the symlink and Shortcuts to run your other clients Using 3rd party applications

Make sure that EVE Online has been installed. If not install it first.
Open My Computer > C:\Program Files (x86) or if your EVE ONLINE client is installed in a different directory, go there.
Hold the SHIFT key, and right-click the CCP folder, select Open command window here.
Create a new juction by typing "mklink /D EVE2 EVE" in the command window.
If you get an error, you might have to start cmd as Administrator: Press the Windows key, enter cmd in the search box, right-click the cmd.exe icon from the search results, and select "Run as Administrator"
You'll have to manually go to the directory where EVE is installed with cd (eg. cd "Progam Files (x86)" .
Open EVE2 folder. If you see files and folders in it, it means that the junction has been created successfully.
Right-click the eve.exe file in EVE2 and select Pin to startmenu or Pin to taskbar.
Your new shortcut to the 2nd EVE Client is now created and ready to run.
The pinned shortcuts can now be renamed.
