That looks good, except that I'd expect to see a profile name, in the form of nnnnnnn.default, where nnnnnnn represents a pseudo-random string: Path=E:\Z - THUNDERBIRD\Profiles\nnnnnnn.default I'm wary of spaces in pathnames. Sometimes you might need to put quotes round it, other times not. No spaces, no doubts. ;-)

Move your profile to that drive.

So the .ini file might read:

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=E:\Z - THUNDERBIRD\Profiles

Is that correct for location of:

E:\Z - THUNDERBIRD\Profiles

IsRelative=0 in your case. You are giving a full absolute pathname, hence it's not relative. ;-)

Thanks so it would be:

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=0 Path=E:\Z - THUNDERBIRD\Profiles

......

Should have mentioned when I started the thread I'm an inexperienced home computer user!
