I'm starting to feel that I should not have mentioned the Linux

the problem that I was actually trying to get assistance with ....
trying to get a Profile were *I* wanted it, rather than it going
where, *apparently* , SeaMonkey wants to put it!!
Sharing a profile between Windows and Linux is completely
unsupported. Things like last download dir are stored in it and will
cause problems if Windows finds a Linux path or Linux a path with a
Windows drive.
Moving or duplicating SeaMonkey|Firefox|Thunderbird to and from Linux
and Windows (or Mac) is very easy drag and drop affair. I have don it
countless times.
Sharing a profile dir is an issue regardless of the OS, but pathing
issues is a real problem with dissimilar OSes because the the prefs.js
records paths for some actions.
Thank you, Jonathan, but that's not the problem I'm interested in. I see
you are on WOW64 Windows 7, the same as me.
Well actually it's Win10 on this box, but should not make a difference
how profiles are managed have not changed in years.
Could you please have a go
at giving yourself a new, test, SeaMonkey profile by selecting
Tools->Switch Profiles->Manage Profiles and then, on the second screen,
give this Profile a Name then Click on the "Choose Folder" button, pick
a new location (i.e. *not* the one suggested by SeaMonkey) and see if
the Location on the "Create Profile Wizard" screen has changed to the
location you had selected??
I've never bothered. Always did it old-school and just edit the profiles.ini
But I did as you suggested and it work okay. Created a pristine profile
in the directory I selected and updated the profiles.ini
[Profile1]
Name=Junk for demo
IsRelative=0
Path=D:\foobar
No need to actually create the Profile (unless you want one), just
cancel your way out of the "Create Profile Wizard" screen.
I'd be very appreciative.

Take care,
