activating default profile

[shakushinnen]

Hi,
I have imported a profile from another computer, with the same name as my current profile, now I have two profiles with the same name. I will eventually remove one of them; but until I do, how do I activate one as my default profile.
Thanks,

I'm kinda surprised you can have the same name twice.

Enter in the Windows Taskbar Search Thunderbird -p
This will launch the profile manager.
In your case I'd make some distinction using the rename option between the two entries like:
UserProfileA
UserProfileB

Hi Bruce,
Will this help me to set one of the profiles as the default?

Yes. The "last" profile hilighted when you "Start Thunderbird" will be set as the default and it will remain the default until you start thunderbird again with a different profile selected from the profile manager.

By the way -- I am unable to create a duplicate profile name. The "Next" button remains grayed out until the names are different.

Also, a correction to using the Windows Taskbar search -- should read the Start > Run and enter Thunderbird -p.

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for your help. I may have mislead you. The names of the two profiles differ in the respect that one starts with a capital and the other does not (Shakushinnen as opposed to shakushinnen). Sorry about that.

You're welcome.
