1. Find the file profiles.ini. In Windows 7, it is in <C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey>, where "xxx" is my user name (David). 2. With SeaMonkey terminated, open profiles.ini in a plain-text editor (e.g., Notepad, Wordpad). You will see something of the form: > [General] > StartWithLastProfile=1 > > [Profile0] > Name=David > IsRelative=0 > Path=C:\Mozilla profiles\SeaMonkey\David > Default=1 I have three more entries for additional profiles. 3. If IsRealtive=1, Path points to the profile folder under the folder containing profiles.ini. If IsRealtive=0, Path is the complete path to the profile. In either case, find the folder to which Path points, copy (DO NOT CUT) the entire folder, and paste it where you want it. 4. In profiles.ini, change Path to point to the new location using a complete path and change IsRealtive=0 if it is not already 0. 5. Test SeaMonkey to see if this has been successful. On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Help > Troubleshooting Information]. On the Troubleshooting Information window, select the Show Folder button to the right of the Profile Folder caption. The location area at the top of the Windows Explorer window should reflect the new location. 6. Repeat steps 3-5 as needed for other profiles. Yes, test after each profile is moved. 7. If everything seems to work okay for a week, go to the old profile folders and delete them. WARNING: Do NOT delete or move the file profiles.ini. -- David E.
