And yes after saving it just double click on it and it will do the magic. There you can save all your documents, emails, etc. In fact, I think it's much better to just create a folder named, say "Peter's Personal Files" and put it on the C drive or another drive if you have it. You don't have to use the standard windows folders like favorites, etc. You must have a folder somewhere on your computer with all your personal documents. You can use any name you want, but it must have. Then enter a name like this: "TBird No Update.reg". To be sure you understand after entering the text into notepad you click "save as" and at the bottom where the box says "save as type" click the down arrow at the left and select "all files". Since you appear to be a novice at this I will explain further. You're not a dummy, just learning new things. Thanks, and apologies for me being such a dummy reg file.ĭo I save it to my favourite folder in file explorer so I know where to find it?ĪND, then, do I understand correctly, I just double click on that new named file, and it does it's magic?

Worse case try using a -profile "full_path_to_profile" command line argument to bypass profiles.ini and specify the profiles location.
You can also use a -allow-downgrade command line argument in the Thunderbird shortcut to try to use a different version (actually a different installation directory) of Thunderbird with a profile. So its possible your problem is you installed Thunderbird in different locations on the two machines. That location is specified with a hash in a Lock statement for the profile in the profiles.ini. Version 68 is the first version where the profiles.ini tries to lock a profile to a specific version, though what it actually tests is whether that profile uses a any version of Thunderbird installed at a specific location. " The problem is my backup computers tell me that there is a profile issue because the back up computers have later versions of TB ( I think they updated automatically )" Its safest to backup the entire C:\users\windows_username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird tree though you only need to backup the profile. Typically if you go up two directories from that you'll find the profiles.ini file that specifies where Thunderbird should find any profiles. Help -> troubleshooting information -> open folder should open windows explorer (file explorer) at your current profile. 8.12.0.exe (64 bit version of Thunderbird 68.12.0 for Windows systems)
