Thanks for your reply. I don't know if 5 or 6
extensions constitutes "a lot." There are now, what,
something like 400 extensions out there, and some of
them are quite useful. Anyway, the backwards
compatibility thing makes sense, but I think this
problem might be more one of "forwards compatibility."
The only *new* thing I installed was Image Zoom for
SM 1.0, replacing an older version, and I had to toss
that one overboard right away.

Copying a bookmark file and cookies seems simple
enough. Are there other items one can "clone over",
from Old Profile to New Profile ?

I have now preserved the pre-SM-install shared Profile
from clones of the HDD, circa 1 month ago and another
from two months ago. Plus a copy of the Profile as it
currently exists. Best I can do, hopefully good
enough.

I think I've done that before, without quite realizing
it, when a Profile got renamed / relocated, and
Netscape | Moz had to be shown where to find it again.
Are there any other parts of the install (in Chrome,
besides Registry.Dat), that you can delete, and have
the program recreate it ?
