Profiles

Hi, I like to restore a backed profile folder to Thunderbird so i don't know what "profile.ini" is? it is what Thumderbird faq says, can you tell me more about this faq?.....Move an existing profile or restore a backed up profile
It's possible to move the location of a profile folder. This could be useful if you have a backed up profile folder somewhere on your hard drive and want to tell Thunderbird to use that as your profile. This section explains how to do this.

1. Shut down Thunderbird completely (File > Exit).
2. Move the profile folder to the desired location. For example, on Windows, move the profile from C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default to D:\Stuff\MyMailProfile. If you are reading these instructions because you want to restore a previously backed up profile, this step isn't necessary. Just note the current location of the profile you want to restore.
3. Open up profiles.ini in a text editor. The file is located in the application data folder for Thunderbird:
* On Windows XP/2000, the path is %AppData%\Thunderbird\ so i look in the application data for Thunderbird and i don't see any file with the name of "profile.ini ",i need your help.....Thanks

 

C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxx\Application Data\Thunderbird
What do you see when you select this? I see a Profile folder and a profile.ini file, beside the pluginreg.dat ajnd registry.dat
