I am already doing that.  My shortcut always launches SeaMonkey with my
preferred profile.  However, that does not reset the flag for the
DEFAULT profile in profiles.ini if I previously terminated SeaMonkey
while in a special-purpose profile.

The script I created looks like this:
        C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /IM seamonkey.exe /T
        start /B B:\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe
        exit
This causes a termination and restart of SeaMonkey.  Since the "start"
command does not include SeaMonkey's -p option, this should restart with
the default profile, which is not necessarily my preferred profile.
However, if I run this script while SeaMonkey is indeed using my
preferred profile, I want that profile to also be my default.  Per my
first paragraph in this reply, that is not always the case.

A prayer for the days leading towards the Jewish holy days.

For those who hate, Let there be no hope,
And may all derision and disdain perish in an instant.
May intolerance be swiftly cut down.
May You quickly uproot, crush, cast down, and humble the arrogant,
Speedily in our days.
Blessed are You, Adonai, Who destroys enemies and humbles the arrogant.
                                 — Alden Solovy

Heed this, President Trump!
