How do we fix this? All help gratefully appreciated!
When you could not find the INI file it was you had Windows
default of
*hiding* known file type. Never understood why they do that when file
extensions are so important in Windows.
Here's what the ini file says (comments in earlier message). (Can we
edit this? It's in Note Pad.):
Yes but you have to do it with SeaMonkey closed. If Profile0 is the
one
you want then just comment-out the other profile with preceding ";"
[General]
Start with last profile=1
[Profile0]
Name=Linda2
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/random#.Linda2
Default=1
[Profile1]
Name=Default User
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/different random#.Default User
;[Profile1]
;Name=Default User
;IsRelative=1
;Path=Profiles/different random#.Default User
save and start SeaMonkey
Took your advice with the asterisks, saved the file, then opened it
again. Result: the "wrong" profile information was gone (!), but SM
still opens with File Not Found referring to the wrong profile.
Question:(displaying our ignorance) should we have also edited the ini
file so the first line "Start with last profile=1" be changed to point
to profile 0 instead?
Larry S.
Yes.
I think that is a Boolean 1|0 not a pointer to which profile. Changing
to 1 to 0 just means don't autostart with the last profile you used
without prompting. Wouldn't hurt.
But what I would do is *validate* the name of the actually profile DIR
name is the one you want. E.g. if the actual folder for Linda is
"12345678.Linda2" that the entry in the profile.ini is
"12345678.Linda2".
Yes, that's the way it reads in the ini file. Still brings up the old
(now deleted) profile.
Here's the error message: "The file
/C:/Users/Linda/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Profiles/rtfmbopb.default/bookmarks.html
cannot be found. Please check the location and try again." Maybe the
HTML file is the problem, but it should be out of the picture now that
that profile has been deleted.
About ready to give up.
Larry S.
Err... That's not a profile, that is a home page! You can change the
settings for that in preferences.
Dave
Good idea, except that we can't open SM to that point. The error message
comes first. Sigh . . .
