Launch thunderbird with chosen profile from command line?
For years I've used profile switcher add-on to facilitate using two profiles. The latest update breaks Profile switcher. So I need to use profile manager to launch thunderbird - which gives an option to DELETE a profile. As this gives the possibility of making a mistake I'd like to launch thunderbird directly without using profile manager, but still use two profiles.
So can I say create two desktop icons that will launch TB into the chosen profile?

Recent versions of windows 10 dont allow creation of shortcuts in the programs folders. However I created shortcuts on the desktop - here's an example
Start in: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird" Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -P "default"
and it works! So does the alternate profile with the same settings except for the profile name.
Easy when you know how.

Once TB is running, you can also launch different profiles from Help/Troubleshooting, about:profiles.
