JD, Your solution is the only one I have found to work with PrefBar, however keep in mind when you upgrade SeaMonkey to a new security release version you have to manually remove SeaMonkey (Add/Remove Programs) before installing the upgrade. When you use this method of upgrading the uninstaller will ask you twice if you want to remove all of SeaMonkey, the first time it is to remove all the SeaMonkey files, click yes, the second time is to remove all the files and folders in the SeaMonkey program folder, click no. If you allow SeaMonkey to use the automatic installer it will remove all files and folder contents in the SeaMonkey program folder including all plugins, extensions, themes and other add-ons you have installed to the program folder. Michael I install SeaMonkey updates without removing the old version. When the installer asks about removing old files, I always indicate Yes. This installation process never touches the plugins directory with one exception: The Mozilla Default Plug-in npnul32.dll is always updated. None of the other plugins in that directory (6 in my configuration) are affected. With Windows (used by the originator of this thread), the Flash plugin isn't even in the SeaMonkey plugins directory. It's in [C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\]. Five other plugins in my configuration are also installed outside of the SeaMonkey plugins directory. -- David E.

I had to move the Flash plugin to be able to use the check mark in PrefBar. When I install a new version of SM, I also over-write the old version using a Custom install and when prompted I select something about not checking compatibility of other components or something like that. I thought I had it my notes but I don't. Sorry. -- JD.. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I thought I had this in my notes but I don't so I'll pay a little closer attention next time and update my notes. I guess I should try Removing the old program first and see if it helps to clean up the Registry? -- JD.. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
