That would do one thing if it is called -- show you that it is the path involved. If so, you can do one of two things ----- reinstall sm 2.x to *that* directory, OR pass that golden info to the IT dept. and change the SM icon(s) target(s) until they get it "fixed". [I have two icons, one for browser and one for mail] (Actually, there are three possibilities if it is the path) jim _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
