Running K-Meleon

Locate bookmark files

The first time you run K-Meleon you might be presented with one or two dialog boxes asking you questions. If you have installed the plugins for Netscape bookmarks or Opera hotlists you can decide whether to share your saved links between your earlier browser or start anew. K-Meleon can either create a new bookmarks or hotlist file or let you locate where your current file is.

• Netscape bookmark plugin : "Bookmark file not found. Do you wish to locate it?"

  If you have Netscape installed on your computer and you wish to be able to use your Netscape bookmarks in K-Meleon, you will need to click yes and find the bookmarks file. Otherwise click no, and K-Meleon will create a new bookmark file instead.

• Opera Hotlist Plugin : "Would you like to set your hotlist file to the default value?"

  If you do not have Opera installed, and the following line is where you wish to store your Opera hotlist file, then click yes. Otherwise, if you wish to use your hotlist from Opera, you will need to click No, and locate the file.

Choose a profile

The "Manage Profiles" window may also appear when starting K-Meleon after the first time.

Profiles enable you to have different settings and configuration (like how K-Meleon looks and acts) as well as separate bookmarks/favorites/hotlist for the different users or people who may be using K-Meleon.

You can use the new, rename and delete buttons to add, change or remove the names of the people who will be using K-Meleon. Then whenever K-Meleon starts the user would just click on his/her name, and then click ok to load K-Meleon with that user's settings.

If however you don't want different settings for different users, or you are the only person that will be using K-Meleon, you can uncheck the "ask at startup" box, and then click Ok. This will prevent the profiles window from appearing at startup. You can still reach the profiles manager from within K-Meleon; under the Edit menu.
