I don't have the exact setup as Sandy. My eCS is on a substitute plugin
first HDD. Mozilla is on the second HDD. eCS uses the same Mozilla
components as W4 including profiles. On the eCS HDD I altered the
partition structure so the Mozilla partition changed. All I had to do
is update the two set lines to conform.

SET MOZILLA_HOME=H:\MOZPROFILES
SET MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=H:\MOZPROFILES\PLUGINS

Is this relevant to Sandy's case?
