I copy the entire mozilla folder over to machine 2. I then open the prefs.js in the profiles and modify all references of the machine 1 to match. For example if machine 1 user is named GGxG in prefs.js: C:\\Documents and Settings\\Jim\\Application Data\\Mozilla\\Profiles\\default\\ But machine 2's user is named Bill, I just do a mass search & replace on Jim and change to Bill, so that the result is: C:\\Documents and Settings\\Bill\\Application Data\\Mozilla\\Profiles\\default\\ Save & that's it. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
