I am trying to move my profiles to another drive since I am out of room on my C: drive. I followed directions in a reply to a similar question and when I create the new profile using the thunderbird.exe -p command I get a totally blank window for thunderbird. There are not even menus displayed. If I click in the window it says thunderbird not responding. I tried the process several times and get the same results every time. Any ideas?

just to verify: - you're clicking windows key and 'r' together - on the window that opens you enter thunderbird.exe -p (with a couple of spaces after .exe and before -p)

does thunderbird start when you click the desktop icon?

Several KB articles make reference to an external Profile Manager tool you have to launch that way. I don't know why it isn't working for you, but recent versions of Thunderbird have a built-in version of the Profile Manager you may use from within Thunderbird itself. I would try using that instead. Both versions of the Profile Manager are documented in the following article:
