Custom IDM path (if not installed in default location)

If IDM isn’t installed in the default path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Download Manager\):

• Run any version of the tool once A file called idman-path.txt will be auto-created next to the .exe
• Open it and paste your actual IDM install path
• From then on, the tool will use that path automatically
