Sharing a T-Bird profile?
|
|
| Pun Krocker 2006-11-20, 7:13 pm |
| Hi,
Trying to share my profile folder with no success!
I have my Mozilla profiles on a spare partition and they work fine in
XP. I have recently installed Vista to my second drive and can switch
between them easily using the bios boot priority (2 sata drives).
Vista will not look a the profile, it always makes it's own as a sub
dir of the folder I am pointing it to.
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=0
Path=s:\mozilla_profiles\thunderbird\def
ault.9f0
Default=1
Above is what works in XP, but not in Vista.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

Here is a MozillaZine Forum thread about profile sharing between
Windows/Linux, it might be of some help.
Would it work just to share the mail/news data, which can be set via the
Local Directory field in Account Settings? I do that on a newtwork drive
to share the data among multiple computers, Mac's, Windows and Linux.

Cheers Lee, that will do nicely, the simple things just slip by
sometimes :-)
Thank you.
