Re: SM 1119, How to change wmv default app?
Paul, What I haven't seen suggested and what may help make the change you want, is this. Open Control Panel, then Folder Options. Click on the File Types tab and scroll down to the .wmv extension. Once you select it you can use the Change button to choose the program that opens .wmv files. You may need to use the Browse button to find the executable file for the media player you choose to use. This is a global change, not just a change in SeaMonkey. You can also change other extensions in this manner if you wish. HTH.

Sometimes holding down ctrl key and left mouse click doesn't register to open a new tab.
Hi! I like to have my Mozilla's SeaMonkey v2.0.x web browser to open new tabs with ctrl key + left mouse click. Once in a while, it doesn't register because I didn't hold it down long enough or something. Has anyone noticed this annoyance? I have seen it happen on slow and fast computers in both Windows (XP Pro. SP3 and 7) and Debian/Linux (all of them have the latest updates). Thank you in advance. :) -- "When you can't fight on and drop to die; you're just a big tasty feast for the crows, ants, buzzards and flies." --unknown /\___/\ Phil./Ant @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | \ _ /If crediting, then use Ant nickname and AQFL URL/link.

MozBackup may have an interest if one wants to keep backups but it should have a doc of what it does really One caution if you do this -- and I do, regularly. If you simply overwrite the Mozilla folder on the target computer, Windows will replace files with the same name (which we want), but retain files that don't exist on the source computer. If your intention is to sync the two, the target computer will have all the files from the source computer, PLUS any files that were on the target computer but not on the source. The right way to do this (with SM closed on both computers, of course) is to begin by renaming the folder on the target computer (I call it "Old_Mozilla"), and then copying new version of the folder from the source. When you've ascertained that all is well, you can then delete the renamed (older) version. Of course, if all you want to do is transfer the bookmarks file or something like that, copying one file onto the target will replace the corresponding older file on the target. The issue I raise only occurs if you're copying folders onto folders. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

Thank you. copy the whole hierarchy of the profile on the other machine and use it as is Thank you very much That was easy! I just did that. but I used Moz Backup. It was very easy to use and got everything - passwords, bookmarks, emails! from the support page of mozbackup : Can I use MozBackup for synchronization between two PCs? I don't think this is a good idea. If you use Firefox try Firefox Sync which is better for such task. If you use Thunderbird try to think about having your mails on server and access to them via IMAP protocol. Familiar solution you can have for contacts.
