Thus if your Windows user name is "Doctor Bill", then the raw path to
the Seamonkey Profiles folder would be:
C:\Users\Doctor Bill\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Seamonkey\Profiles
I frequently see instructions ambiguated as something like:
C:\Users\[Your ID]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Seamonkey\Profiles
but that's kind of clumsy, because it takes an instruction of "replace
[Your ID] with your Windows user name", and beyond that, not everybody
even knows their Windows user name (especially if it was pre-defined in
Windows setup).
Thus, by directing to %APPDATA% the path name is shorter, and you don't
have to make adjustments to get the user name correct.
And as noted separately, the correct name is profiles.ini, not
profile.ini. Mea culpa.

Smithy, would it be fair to suggest that Windows treats the %APPDATA% as
a sort of Wildcard, and just concentrates on looking all over the disk
for the bit that follows the %APPDATA%??
