Don't add the "/user" at the end! On Windows this would be soffice -env:UserInstallation=file:///c:/documents%20and%20settings/michele/Application%20data/OpenOffice.org2 or where ever your profile is (again without the "user" in the name). Please again mind the URL notation. In this notation blanks, non-ascii characters and a few more characters have to be encoded in a special way, blanks e.g. convert to "%20". To make things easier you cut put you "alternative" profiles into folders that don't contain such characters. Example: soffice -env:UserInstallation=file:///c:/OpenOffice.org/profile1 If you start OOo with this command line you should see the welcome wizard and afterwards a folder "c:\openoffice.org\profile1\user" that contains your profile. Please also mind that file URLs always use slashes, no backslashes as Windows file names. Of course you don't need any "-env" to access the default profiles, I just took them as examples.

I knew I was doing some really naive mistake :-) Anyway, I will get on now and create my three profiles... Thanks a lot Mathias (and NoOp, and Harold and Jon of course!) Cheers, Michele
