profile storage in another drive

How do I go around making my profile in another harddisk as I have 2 harddisk. I do not intent to store them under appication data in windows xp folder as I have just lost 5 years of mail dat etc because my recent experience of corrupted windows xp program experience.

 

liphor,

I have a detailed guiline on Moving Default Profile Location.

I might add, that if you make frequent backups of your Profiles folder, you will never lose any of your profile data. See the Preventive Browser Maintenance Sticky at the top of this Forum.

Backup's - Ramona's words of wisdom.
Where important data is stored is not as important as "how many copies" of important data.

 

Dennis, one good copy which is not on a HD may be enough, although I have so many copies that I can't find them, anymore.

 

lost data storage location

I can't find the application data folder in my windows. I have just did a clean installed of windows xp sp2.

 

liphor,

Profile Folders location on Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles

NOTE: These files are hidden by default.
To see hidden files:
1. On the Tools menu in Windows Explorer, click Folder Options
2. Click the View tab
3. Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders
4. Disable "Hide File Extensions for Known Files. "
5. Click OK.
