Would it be possible to offer an additional download version as listed below?

Because:

It seems to be hard for some newbies to K-Meleon to follow the instructions 
given here by others.

The last resort of many sharing their knowledge here, then,  is to "create a new profile", 
without regard to changes the advised may have made - mostly unknowingly - 
to files in the K-M [u]Program Folder[/u].
 
Many Windows users do not realize easily how to avoid creating 
a "profile.ini.txt" instead of a profile.ini.

Many newbies suspect the Browser, their OS, or malware as the 
culprits for bugs in their K-M installations.

With K-Meleon, it would be easy - and much less taxing for both parties - to 
convince them that neither is the case, by offering the following download:
 
[list]
[*] a zipped basic K-Meleon installation (can be handled by Windows natively)
[*] portable (profile.ini included, need not touch their previous installation)
[*] with the instruction to unzip to their Desktops (no writinRights issues)
[*] without the loader
[*] without the defaulter
[*] without AdBlockPlus, for a start, and the advice to install that only after 
having installed & tested their other extensions - [u]see note below[/u]. 
[*] with an extra read me on HowTo transform that into a proper 
local installation as soon as it is complete & satisfying. 
(I'd volunteer for that, and I think I have a reference now to prove 
I can do this kind of thing - see [url=http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?1,106073,106102#msg-106102]my post on Sessions/Groups/Nicks[/url] 
[/list]

Now, the [b][u]NOTE[/u][/b] concerning [b][u]AdBlockPlus[/u][/b], an extension which I value highly, and without 
which I personally would not like browsing for long... but:

[quote=Uninstalling Adblock Plus]
from [url=https://adblockplus.org/en/kmeleon]The AdBlockPlus K-Meleon Page[/url]
Note that deactivating Adblock Plus plugin will only remove it from the user interface, usually the extension will continue blocking in the background. To uninstall Adblock Plus you need to [u]remove all the files[/u] you installed with the ZIP package.
[/quote]

(btw: this does not even mention the case that a user instructed to deactivate 
the plugin deactivates the macro only, instead)
(btw2: can we be sure there's no other extension staying active 
in the background after deactivating?)[/quote]
