It doesn't take long to run a small batch file in Windows to backup what's important to YOU. Or even use a program like "PureSync" which is free to home users (donation requested by author). A simple batch file like the following will do the job (only two lines required): copy C:\Users\X\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\default\*.* X:\SeaMonkey\MozBackup\Profiles cd:c\ Where X = thumbnail, CD, DVD, or external disk drive. Create the file with an ascii editor line Notepad, save, change name from X.txt to X.BAT and move it to desktop. Double click the icon after shutting down SM and viola - in less than 15 seconds the job is done! -- Ed, W3BNR HTTP://JonesFarm.us/W3BNR Tags by Pick-a-Tag 1.60ß1 Future generations will be born free, equal and in debt. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
