I created a brand new profile -- and unlike some previous versions of my REGISTRY.DAT file (which even contained NETSCAPE\.... paths -- I can't imagine why: I've always rejected Mozilla's invitation to convert a Netscape profile), the current REGISTRY.DAT is very small and contains a reference to only one path and this one newly created profile.
BTW: I just noticed that many of the Mozilla files have a file date of 9-13-62 and some even go back to 59 and 58 !! -=- Alan Michael Kaply wrote: > Did you use an existing profile?
