I was trying to start the Profile Manager using the suggested text shown below in the Win Run box. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -p

Normally I would enter the text between the "" but there is -p following the text in the quotes. Do I enter the -p or not? Thanks

The " marks are required when there are spaces in text that needs to be read as a single unit. Command-line switches like -P are not part of the file path, so should not be included in the quotation marks around the path. As for whether you need that, I believe if you want to start up in the Profile Manager, then you need the -P on your command line, otherwise Thunderbird will start normally.
