Hey, Ray, how did your friend move/copy the profile to the new
computer?? I seem to recall if it was copied via a CD, the files in
the profile would be marked as Read-Only and SM *needs* to be able to
write to the files.

Well, of course, the files on the CD can't be updated, so they have to be copied to the target computer. Once there, the read-only attribute can easily be changed.

And someone here noted a while back that more recent vintages of Windows (sorry, I don't recall the cutoff point) don't automatically mark files coming from CDs as read-only. I just tested it on my Win7 system and sure enough, incoming files copied from a CD were not marked read-only.
