I like the .slt'ing. It's purpose, I believe, is to make it impossible for any program or web site to have knowledge of where your profile (and with it, your cache, security, and prefs files) are. I suppose a local program could start in \documents and settings\<user name> and just recursively search every folder until it finds \mozilla\profiles\profile name\random.slt\pref.js, but even then it doesn't mean you've found the person who's profile you want to find's profile, it could be any profile -- ICQ: N/A (temporarily) AIM: FlyersR1 9 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ = m
