Locate the file profiles.ini. It should be in
<C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\profiles.ini>, where
"xxx" is your Windows user name (NOT a SeaMonkey profile name). That
file contains the pointers to your profiles.
In profiles.ini, you should see all profiles listed, with their names,
locations, and a flag that indicates whether the locations are complete
or relative to the location of profile.ini. An example is:
[Profile0]
Name=SamuelS
IsRelative=0
Path=C:\myprofiles\SeaMonkey\Sam
Default=1
This means this is the first profile (numbered from 0), the profile is
named "SamuelS", that the Path is complete, the profile is at
<C:\myprofiles\SeaMonkey\Sam> (no security hash in the name in the form
of uchx8jc7.Sam), and that this is your primary (default) profile. (For
my own use, I did not use hashes to name the folders where I placed my
profiles since my profiles are "hidden" by placing them on a drive other
than C.)
If you new profiles are not indicated in profiles.ini, that is the cause
of your problem. In a plain-text editor (e.g., Notepad, Wordpad, but
NOT Word), edit the file to add your new profiles and point to them.
Each profile has a unique {Profilen], where "n" is a number (e.g.,
[Profile1], [Profile2], [Profile3], etc).
