 h2. Manually editing Config Files 

 Most config files can be manually edited using a text editor but the files must always be opened and saved using "UTF-8":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 encoding. 

 When editing config.ini while AdiIRC is running, it can be reloaded by typing the [[/setoption]] command with no parameters, other config files usually requires a AdiIRC restart.
