'''''Description:'''''
 
The option '''''-profile ''''' allows you to specify a specific location for player's profile files.
 
The syntax would be, for example,
C:\games\ArmA\arma.exe -profiles=c:\games\armaprofiles
 
 
'''Note:''' If the profile path contains spaces, the whole parameter should be enclosed by quotation marks:
c:\armed assault\ArmA.exe "-profiles=c:\armed assault\profiles"
 
 
The path defined in the argument can also be interpreted ''relative'' to the ArmA path:
  c:\arma\ArmA.exe -profiles=profiles
would use the folder <tt>c:\arma\profiles\Users\[playername]</tt>, and
 
 
  c:\arma\ArmA.exe -profiles=.
would put the user profiles ''directly'' into the game folder (<tt>c:\arma\Users\[playername]</tt>).
 
 
The way this path is interpreted depends on the game version:
# '''V1.04''' and before: reads the folder <tt>c:\games\armaprofiles\PlayerName</tt>
# '''V1.05''' and later: reads the folder <tt>c:\games\armaprofiles\'''Users'''\PlayerName</tt>
