On Windows 98 default location will be ./Program Files/K-Meleon/Profiles/...
K-Meleon has automatically writing rights there. That was the old default location until K-Meleon 0.9. Win 9x has it there by default and was the most common Win...
Some other possible Profiles folder locations on different windows e.g. with family logon.
Cave Holger Metzger only knows the K-Meleon 0.9 profiles default location.
Current profiles default location is
since K-Meleon 1.0 next to where he says Firefox has his profiles.
On Windows 2000 profiles can still be in
1.) .\Program Files\K-Meleon\Profiles\...
K-Meleon does not have automatic writing rights there - they must be manually granted, unless when You habitually work as Admin.
(I think we are talking about problems with this?!)
Or profiles can be Windows 2000 style (or any NT based Windows e.g. XP) in
2.) C:\Documents and Settings\{Active User}\Application Data\K-Meleon
It has automatic automatic writing rights there. You need no Admin rights here, the active user owns the rights to this. K-Meleon has the rights of the user or admin that starts the exe.
During setup You were asked whether You wanted multi user support - if deselected K-Meleon will install Profiles in his own install directory.
That option is now used for single user Win 98, Portable install on USB-stick, Multi boot systems where You want to use the same profile, to test new versions where You do not want to use Your normal profile & probably some more uses that I do not know.
On each startup K-Meleon checks for a profile.ini in his setup directory to determine where the profiles are generally. BTW. The exact location is by default layed down in profile
s.ini and that file is where the profiles are.
No profile.ini exists =
2.)
profile.ini exists =
1.)
Under Windows 2000 You can simply delete .\Program Files\K-Meleon\profile.ini
on the next start K-Meleon will create a new profile where he can write
in
C:\Documents and Settings\{Active User}\Application Data\K-Meleon
To transfer data or settings from one K-Meleon Profile to another You can simply copy the files inside the profiles to the new location. Cave - always create backups of the place before You start to change anything.
Seach engine settings are in search.xml of used profile. pwds are in *.s....
