Changeing default directory for thunderbird profile

I have been using Mozbackup for a long time but have never had to use the restore function. I decided to test it and it worked fine for FF but TB profile was lacking 2 of 4 accounts. :cry
What I would like to know can I relocate my profile to "My Documents" folder so when I do my daily backup of my docs it'll be saved automatically? In other word I would like to relocate the profile to be in my docs by default.
I hope someone can help. I was fortunate to be able to recover my missing data by running a system restore, but i the event of a crash that wouldn't work and I would need to reinstall a backup profile.
Thanks
Floyd

 

I had to go through this 4-5 years ago when I first started using TBird. The Mozilla help article is HERE and re-reading it now reminds me what a total pita Mozilla can be. I do wonder, after struggling to relocate my profile (which I did eventually manage to do) why on earth I stayed with it, but I did.

Good luck with it and be careful to get the syntax EXACT, or you will get error after error.
