I often had the Blue Screen of Death. The stability of the system was
greatly enhanced after I made a registry setting that cleaned the
page file during the shutdown procedure. It's the same thing with
Seamonkey. After Seamonkey crashed, I often deleted the profiles
folder in appdata > local > Mozilla > Seamonkey. It made Seamonkey
much more stable, since this folder also contains the disk cache.
Does it help if you set SM to delete private data, including cache, on
termination? That sounds like what you want. I see no reason to delete
the entire profiles folder unless you're just running the program for
testing purposes or you have a serious problem that normal
trouble-shooting can't solve.
The profiles folder is recreated when Seamonkey is started again. I'v
never noticed any adverse effects after deleting the profiles folder.
Keep in mind that I deleted the folder after Seamonkey crashed, so there
is no proper termination.
I would expect deleting the profiles folder to delete all your user data
-- email folders and messages, login passwords, bookmarks, etc. For me
that would be a huge cost that would have to be justified by a huge
problem. It's cold comfort that the program runs with a blank profile.
