Subject: installing mozilla on a shared computer with profiles on samba share - msg#00161

List: mozilla.devel.windows

Date: Prev Next Index Thread: Prev Next Index
Hi,

I'd like to install mozilla in such a way, that all the profile data for the default user stays on his "home" share, i.e. h:\mozilla.
I tried it by deleting the default user profile and setting up a new
one with a profile directory h:\mozilla\Default User.

But logging in as another user, mozilla the profile can't be opened.
I remember the old, with using netscape (4?), it was possible to set a
key in the registry to point the default user profile in that manner.
That does not seem to be possible with mozilla anymore.

The fallback solution would be to install on all computers in the office
all user profiles, which I don't like.

Did you get, what I want?

Greetings

ingo fischenich

I believe it is on the first screen which comes up when you go into Preferences. Jeff -- Jeff Grossman (jeff@xxxxxxxxxxx)
