Hello:

I am currently running KM75.1 under Windows 8.1.
The profile folder is C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\K-Meleon\sikwjedy.default
I would like to change the location of the profile folder to C:\Program Files\K-Meleon
I believe this can be done by creating an empty profile.ini file in C:\Program Files\K-Meleon
Then I start K-Meleon and it will process this change.
I put together this procedure from the Documentation section, can someone please tell me if this is correct?

Thanks
Dominic

It's correct yes, except that modern Windows OS may refuse writing rights in the program folder. Am no expert (still old computer), but think you can change it by right-clicking on the profiles folder and changing the security permissions manually. Others can tell better, or perhaps you know it yourself already.
While at it, give also permission to the skins folder.

Some of us just place the whole KM folder outside of the default program folder, but that means the whole folder and browser is not write-protected anymore.

New to K-Meleon? What do you like? What not?

Attention, the contents of the old profile folder are not migrated automatically! They remain where they are and must be copied over manually:
After creating "profile.ini" in KM root, restart the browser again, and it will create a new default profile folder inside. Now close KM again, then manually copy over the contents of the old folder (old place) into the new folder.

Siria, thank you for the replies.

I have Win 10 on all of my machines now. Microsoft has win 10 done such that I cannot place programs into "program files" or "program files x86" unless I use an "installer". I got around that by creating a folder at c: root named "km pgms". I have my K-Meleon programs loaded there.

Since I created "km pgms", I have all access there.
