I currently have Thunderbird and Firefox in C:\users. I would like to move it to x:\users. I know how to do the physical move, and will change the settings in my email accounts to reflect the new location.

Besides making the change in the profile file, I want to know if there will be any linkage problems I need to be aware of, or any other place I have to make changes?

I think if you do it as Microsoft intend, you simply tell Windows that Users is on X and everything should follow.

Then just copy your existing Profiles (and all its subfolders) and profiles.ini to the new location on X:

Otherwise…

I'd make the changes in profiles.ini. Keep your profile all in one piece, rather than treating each individual mailstore separately.

Your profiles.ini will currently look something like this: [General] StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0] Name=Zenos IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/abc123.default Default=1 Change it to [General] StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0] Name=Zenos IsRelative=0 Path=X:\Users\....\Profiles\abc123.default Default=1 You'll have to change the \...\ to match the full absolute pathname to your new profile location

If you're doing it this way, just moving only the data, i.e. Profiles and its subfolders, leave profiles.ini in its original location on C: - this is where Thunderbird will look for it.
