The Mozilla Home entry in OS2.INI is the opposite of what you think. It is placed there when the browser starts to tell other applications where Mozilla is putting in profiles. We don't read it. It was put there at the request of application developers. > ...and why do we need that entry in os2.ini? There are even more entries in OS2.INI with the new install, as there should be. The OS2.INI is for storing data that other applications need about your app. Apps can find out things like which Mozilla is the current version, where the plugin path is, where the executable is (needed by the uninstaller), etc. The idea that apps shouldn't write anything to the OS2.INI is just silly. That's what it's there for. > Side issue: I really wish I could understand what is going on with the > moz configuation stuff.

Do you think you can move OS/2 to another drive? Believe it or not, 99.999999999% of the population don't ever change their drive letters, so putting in code to make this work would be a waste of time. If you are smart enough to use LVM to change your drive letters, you are smart enough to find all the occcurrences of that drive letter in various files and change them to point to the new drive.
