15993 - Use Windows NT user profiles instead of 'built-in'

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 6464

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, enhancement, P3)

Description

[otto]

Right now on Windows NT, both Mozilla M10 and Netscape 4.x creates it's own
profile directory, and expects the user to manually control profiles.

It would
be nice if the native profile feature of the OS was used, and Mozilla settings
were stored in the user's home directory (%USERPROFILE%). This  buys file
security for the profiles, and might also solve bug#15280, which involves  MAPI
profiles (which exist 'inside' a user's profile on NT)

I don't know if this an 'enhancement' or a 'bug', because Netscape for UNIX
always seemed to handle home directories properly.

It's an enhancement we'd love to get to...
