You don't have to. If you want to create them, they are no different than the shortcuts you created on the desktop. In fact, you can just drag the icon from the desktop using your right-click&drag and drag it to your start menu (navigating into the specific menu area) and release, then select Copy Here (or whatever). > > How do I look at the 1.1.18 Profile Manager?

Is that correct? I do not have any > SeaMonkey items open, when I visit the Start menu Profile Manager. I don't know what you have on your start menu. If the last SM installed was 2.X, and it installed the start menu items into the same place that SM 1.1.X did (which I *think* is the default), then it would point to SM 2.X. Perhaps the easiest way would be to launch SM 2.X, and go to Tools -> Switch Profile (if this exists on SM 2.X - I don't know for sure as I'm not running that version yet). > > I understand--I think.

I have to have SeaMonkey turned off (both > versions) in order to see the Start menu>All Programs>SeaMonkey>Profile > Manager. Have I got that right? All except for the last point. Think of the Profile Manager as just another SM application component (like Browser or Mail & Newsgroup). If you're running SM 1.1.X, then no matter what you run, you're going to see the Profile Manager for SM 1.1.X. > > This is where I get a little fuzzy with my thinking.

If you're start menu includes shortcuts for SM 2.X, and you want one for SM 1.1.X, just add it, as described before. So it doesn't become confusing, you may want to rename your existing shortcuts so it's clear they belong to SM 2.X. > > I have been using 1.1.18, subsequent to installing 2.0.3, for accessing > the web and my mail.

Best Regards, Okay, I see that you've posted a follow-up, so now I'm going to go and read that :) _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
