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.
