Locate the file profles.ini for SeaMonkey. In my configuration (and in general), it is at <C:\Users\zyx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\profiles.ini>, where "zyx" is my Windows account name. The file should contain a pointer to the folder where your profile is located. That would be the item Path. I suggest you specify a complete path, starting with D:\, in which case the item IsRelative should be 0 (zero). When I did this, I then had to modify prefs.js in a plain-text editor while SeaMonkey was terminated. For preference variables having values that were paths to various folders and files, I had to change some of them to reflect the new location of the profile. For example, my home page is the export of bookmarks from places.sqlite (automatically done every time I terminate SeaMonkey). The exported file resides in my profile, so I had to change that from a C:\ path to the new D:\ path. -- David E. Ross I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can be used when autocomplete=off.
