Solution: Change the File "C:\MultiCommander64\Config\MultiCommander.xml" in the second row <config global="1">

<config global="1"> means Config is in Program Folder
<config global="0"> means: "C:\Users\${Username}\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\"

Yes
"1" means use config from where the exe is located.   "0" use users specific folder..

Also "1" will store sessions/history data under the .exe folder instead of registry.

Don't change it if you store MC under "Program Files" since that area is read only unless you are admin
