I am using a used HDD that has 2 accounts - each has its own APPDATA file. One account belongs to the old computer where the HDD came from, and the 2nd acct was moved from my primary acct. that was on a different HDD. Should I just move any files I might want from the 1st Account, then delete it?

When I tried to launch TB, I rec'd this error message: "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I'm not 100% confident I have all the needed files in the Thunderbird Appdata folder. Can you tell me the names of the files I need?

If I just delete any existing APPDATA files (while keeping the Profile Folders) would TB just create a set of new APPDATA files - and then I could move the appropriate Profile Names to where it belongs? Thanks...

Cancel my question please. I renamed the existing TB Folders to XXThunderbird and let TB create what it needed to. It launched. ;-)

When Thunderbird is installed, it creates a basic profile. You have apparently deleted it. To give Thunderbird a profile, you can press the WIndows key and the 'r' key and in the window that pops up you can enter 

  thunderbird.exe  -p    which will invoke the profile manager. In that, you can click 'create profile', click next, enter a short name for profile, e.g., profile, and then click the browse button to locate and select which of those profiles you want to be the default.
