The following is the memo I left myself after I upped to SM2 .0 on my C: drive and then moved my SM 1.18 profile on my D: drive to a new folder on the D: drive for SM 2.0. + + + + + + Moving SM2 Profile SM newsgp 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. + + + + + + -- JohnW-Mpls _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
