Hi Brummett,

re:

It's the folder where you have copied the MoI installation. It's for the case where you're using MoI as a "portable" program meaning that it is copied on to a USB drive and can be run directly from the USB drive on another computer.

MoI v4 will automatically create folders in appdata for commands and startup scripts. You can put your custom commands in there instead of inside the install folder, that way new installs will see them automatically and you won't have to copy those into a new install.

If you have made a scripts folder in your install you can also create a scripts sub-folder in the Moi appdata folder and put them there.

UI modifications would still need to be applied to the install, but if the UI modification is done by script code rather than static file changes, in v4 you can put the script file in the appdata startup folder so it will be run when MoI launches. Max's CustomUI extension for v4 has been redone to work this way for example.
