So how should the new settings for SET_MOZILLA_HOME be set
if She creates an r:\mozilla.org\mozilla catalog on r:, and under that a 
catalog named Profiles and under that the new profile names for SMpMw118
and Firefox? Remember that the programs itself will live in the 
y:\mozilla.org\mozilla\ dir. And btw, She kicks off SMPmW118 and 
Firefox-10.0.12 and Firefox-17.0.11esr and one of the .cmd files She 
uses to kick off 17.0esr look like this:

<$quote>

setlocal
set BEGINLIBPATH=n:\mozilla.org\mozilla\firefox-17.0.11esr
set LIBPATHSTRICT=T
set MOZILLA_PLUGIN_PATH=n:\mozilla.org\mozilla\plugins
cdd n:\mozilla.org\mozilla\firefox-17.0.11esr
firefox.exe -P "default" -no_remote
endlocal

Not possible in Her case as the drives on the old system is SCSI and in 
the new box 2x500GB SATA drivers.

Ok, so when the new box is up and running with the and connected to the 
network with the name 'SORILEACLI' and the old box with the name 
'SORILEASRV' because She have Warp Server installed and had used this 
flavour of os/2, She must somehow give the new box access rights to all 
the partitions on the old minus the XP partition and using XCOPY 
\\SORILEASRV\C:* \\SORILEACLI\C: /H /O /T /S /E /R /V - then rinse & 
repeat for all the other partitions that sits on the new box.
