Go to C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey, where xxx is your Windows user name. Open the file profiles.ini in a plain-text editor (e.g., Notepad, Wordpad, but definitely NOT Word). The file should look something like > [General] > StartWithLastProfile=1 > > [Profile0] > Name=David > IsRelative=0 > Path=C:\Mozilla profiles\SeaMonkey\David > > [Profile1] > Name=alt > IsRelative=0 > Path=C:\Mozilla profiles\SeaMonkey\alt The StartWithLastProfile=1 means that, if you terminate SeaMonkey and then launch it again, it should launch in the same profile it was using when it was terminated. (I override this by having "-p David" -- without the quotes -- in the Windows shortcut I use to launch SeaMonkey.) Each profile then has a set of lines beginning with the profile number (e.g., [Profile0] is the first, [Profile1] is the second). Within those lines "Name=abc" (again without the quotes) indicates the name of the profile. The IsRelative=0 means that the path is an absolute path, not a relative path (my preference). The Path= uses Windows notation with backslashes to give the path; note that a path with a blank in a directory name does NOT take quotes. Setting up profiles.ini allows you to have profiles in unrelated locations, even on different hard-drives. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Where does your elected official stand?
