Thanks for responding and for pointing out the backup program URL. I thought that applet was discontinued, so it's good to get current with it.

I did finally manage to where Windows 7 is putting the Application Data files. They've duplicated the XP folder names but making them inaccessible, while creating similar folder names that contain the files. What confusion and chaos it is to find out how Windows 7 has squirreled files and folders and complicated things. I've lost many functions, and so far see no gain.

Thanks again,

Marisa

You could try:

Backup anything before you do any of this...

I actually had a similar situation whereby I have a SM 2.0.4 on a linux
system&  wanted to replicate on a Win7 laptop. All that I did was copy
the ~/.mozilla folder from the linux machine to the Win7 machine&
replace the 'SeaMonkey' folder from the copied files to:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Seamonkey\
Note: on Win7 I actually used
Network|<machinename>|Users|<username>|AppData|Roaming|Mozilla|
and fired up SM. All works. No clue as to why/how (I'm a linux user so
Win7 et al is pretty unfamilar to me), but it worked for me. I even
rebooted the Win7 just to be sure.

Again *backup* before you try anything.
