I find it hard to believe that any user would install SeaMonkey (or
any program for that matter) directly into "C:/Documents And Settings"
rather than a sub-directory under that or any other directory.
Perhaps the person suspected of this can clarify?
Letting the install program install the peograms into the default
directory "Program Files" give a better chance to avoid problems.
I suspect you mean "... install to a directory under Program Files...",
but that isn't actually necessary. I rarely install under Program Files
(of course, I never install programs anywhere under Documents And
Settings either).

Yes. I suspect this thread is dead and relegated now to SM bashing.
I recall an old Firefox version where, if you choose a non default
location without creating a folder ahead of time, would simply install
all the files outside of a folder. There were people who installed in
the root of the C drive, expecting to get a C:\\Firefox install, but got
all the program files strewn about.
The real disaster was if they tried to uninstall. The uninstaller
started removing everything on the C drive!! (It was fun doing support
back then!) Needless to say, I am sure this is not happening here.
That being said, on Windows, absent a compelling reason to the contrary,
as installing a beta for testing, I let the applications go where they
want to go. Program Files is perfectly handy, since it makes it easy to
find things. Documents and Settings seems an odd destination for
program files. However, I still find it hard to understand how
installing SeaMonkey could be attacking an iTunes library, unless the
installations of both are really non standard.

you are not alone in not understanding--I sure as heck do not understand
it. It is now water under the bridge. :)
