i successfully moved my SM2 profile from under XP on my C: drive to my
D: drive where I keep all my data files.  Took me only 3 installs to
get it right!  [grin]

First thing was to clean up old SM files under XP.  That included
uninstalling SM1.1.18 and deleting the SM2 profile that had been
created when I tried a beta copy of SM2 (location - C:\Documents and
Settings\John W\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles)

Install of SM2 was easy including importing all my SM1.1.18 profile
info that was on my D: drive.

I then created a new directory on my D: drive for the SM2 profile (I
labeled it moz).

With SM2 running again, I hit Tools|Switch Profile and clicked to
create a new profile.  I selected my new D:\moz as the location and
named the new profile (JW for me). Closed SM.

Using Win Explorer, I copied my SM1 profile files under D:\nsp to the
new SM2 profile location, D:\moz.  That is: I copied everything under
that crazy code number (that Netscape assigned when I first set-up
that profile) D:\nsp\jw\6tw0u8b7.slt  to D\moz.  Exited Explorer.

Restarted SM2 and all my old profile info came up just fine with
Browser, Mail, Addresses all looking and acting just like SM1.

After that, I did clean up - went back to Tools|Switch Profile and
deleted the default profile that was set up when I first installed
SM2.
