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.
