I need to move my SM v.2.30 files from an XP system to a newer Win 7
system. What is the easiest way to do this?
It seems to me that if I do a new install of SM v.2.30 on the Win 7
machine, it seems logical I could then copy the existing v.2.30 files on
my XP machine and paste them over the newly-installed v.2.30 files on
the Win7 machine.
Is this approach likely to work?
Yes I have moved profile on several systems this way and even from
Windows to Linux.
On XP get your profile copy profile folder to some media
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application
Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\SOME_SALT.default
Note the folder name the SALT will be something 8 random characters like
"k54g9kjh.default"
On Windows 7 type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles in the search box
so Explorer will open in the hidden folder
Copy your XP profile there
Move up one directory, i.e., %APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\ and open
profile.ini in notepad
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
; comment out the initial Windows 7 installed profile with a ";"
;Path=Profiles/original.default
; add entry with name of the Windows XP profile you just copied
Path=Profiles/k54g9kjh.default
Save and start SeaMonkey and your bookmarks, passwords, email and all
with be there.
Is there some better (and hopefully
easier) to accomplish such a move? I don't want to change anything
about how my SM v.2.30 is working, just move it.
Thanks, in advance, for any and all advice, guidance, and/or suggestions.
They have some backup utilities but I have never found them to be needed
above works just fine.

Take care,
