DO NOT delete any folder from your E-drive.
Find the file named profiles.ini. It is likely somewhere on your
C-drive in a system folder. Edit that file as follows:
* Set IsRelative=0
* Set Path= to point to where your profile was pasted. This should be
the complete path.
Find the file named seamonkey.exe. This should be on your E-drive.
Copy the file and paste the copy AS A SHORTCUT on your desktop. (Does
Windows 10 have a desktop?) Select the shortcut, right-click, and
select Properties from the pull-down context menu. Edit the target to
add "-p xxx" after seamonkey.exe without the quotes and where xxx is the
name of your profile (the value of Name= in the file profiles.ini).
You might have to edit the file profile.js in your profile folder. This
must be done without SeaMonkey running and must be done very, very
carefully. Paths in that file might have to be changed to correspond to
paths in your Windows 10 installation. Be careful to change paths while
keeping the format of the old paths. If the preference variable
print_printer in profile.js has a value that does not reflect the name
of the printer in your new setup, change it to
user_pref("print_printer", "");
to use your Windows 10 default printer. There might be other changes
needed to prefs.js.
I have done this myself in going from Windows XP to Windows 7. It can
be a tedious process. It might take several attempts to get everything
correct.

Donald Trump claims he is a successful businessman.
If so, how does he explain the number of his
