Benjamin, you closed with adding a comment - hhmm, how would you open a drive/folder with a pre-existing profile with the attached GUI?

Choose "create profile" and point it at the existing folder.

Thanks, but then please add some comment / mouse-over hinting at this non-standard UI approach
or re-label the button "create new/open existing profile"
