    Is it possible to let two users (in fact the same person but logged in under different names) share the same profile for SeaMonkey on one notebook ?
    This question arises since on my notebook (Windows XP SP2) I have a local account and a domain account connected to my work (by the way, both have administrator rights).
    I like to browse and see my email using SeaMonkey also when I am logged in at my notebook as local user.
    Currently, I have now a profile for SeaMonkey with my domain account.
    Thanks for any suggestion !

    Ed,
    you say "users ", but you,really mean accounts. Right? I am not sure what the local and domain account mean. Does it have anything to do with the way you access Windows?
    I have two users, my wife and I. She uses two accounts, and I use, at least eight, but only one windows account.

    Westside,

    Basically, on my notebook I have can log in with two different names (so, two Windows accounts and thus with different settings); one, when I (say user 1) am at home and one, when I (say user 2) am at my work (then my notebook is part of a domain). What I am asking is how user 1 can use the SeaMonkey-profile of user 2 and can read mail and browse and can make changes in the profile. It is impossible that both users are logged in at the same time.

    I, never, had two Windows accounts, so I am not sure. You could try to copy the Seamonkey profile from wherever it is, and replace the existing profile, after installing Seamonkey.
