Memory sticks--more commonly known as "flash drives"--are miniature portable hard drives capable of holding files, folders, pictures, and even entire programs or operating systems independent from your computer's hard drive. You can add files to a memory stick by plugging it into your computer's USB port and dragging files into its interface. Log in Social login does not work in incognito and private browsers.

Tips and Warnings. Related Articles. Method 1. USB ports are rectangular with a solid piece of plastic on the upper half of the slot and an empty space on the bottom.
The port should have a graphic of three branching arrows pointing upward or downward, depending on your PC next to it. Plug your memory stick into the USB port. Make sure the solid piece on the inside of the memory stick's port is on the bottom when you plug it in. Wait for the memory stick's interface to appear.
This may take a few minutes if this is your first time installing this memory stick on your PC. If the memory stick doesn't automatically open, double-click "My Computer" and find your memory stick's name under the "Devices and drives" section. Double-click its name to open the memory stick window. Select the files you would like to add to the memory stick. If your files are all in the same place, simply click and drag your cursor across your files until you've highlighted all of them.
To search for a file on your PC, open the Start menu and type the file's name into the search bar at the bottom of the menu. If you're using Cortana, the field should say "Ask me anything".
You can launch Thunderbird this way using a command prompt, a shortcut, a batch file, or a JScript. See this MozillaZine forum thread for further information and examples. The key difference between setting up and running Thunderbird in this way and doing so in the "normal" way is that Thunderbird's Profile Manager normally keeps track of your profile s using a profiles. For Thunderbird to be used effectively on a USB stick, in a completely portable mode, it obviously cannot rely upon a file stored on one computer's boot drive in this way.
The -profile "path" syntax thus provides Thunderbird with a way to find your profile without relying on information normally stored on the boot drive. Note that you can also use the same syntax, even without a USB drive, to run a profile on your computer that the Profile Manager doesn't know about.
This can be useful, for instance, if your profiles. It would also be useful for roaming users whose profile was on a file share. However, unlike Leo, I opt for the portable version of Thunderbird see portableapps. I often copy my email and it simply involves copying one folder, a folder that I named and placed.
Seems the easier approach. No need to be bothered with sub-folders at all. I do this when traveling and should do it at home too…. The article has been read, but unfortunately I have a slightly different twist to this issue.
I was wondering if you can help me with a problem with my computer system. I had to rebuild my Windows 7 Ultimate computer and I am having an issue restoring the e-mail messages from Thunderbird 7. I am using Mozilla Thunderbird 7.
After the system was rebuilt I restarted my e-mail with Thunderbird to read all of the new messages. This was done because 3 days had passed and I needed to read the new e-mail. After I found out about MozBackup, I re-installed the old hard drive and was able to backup all of the e-mail messages. I then re-installed the new hard drive and backed up all of the e-mail messages. I have kept all of the backup files so if the sequence needs to be changed, that can be done. I then restored the old e-mail messages as I needed the folders that were created.
I would like to know if there is a way to combine the new e-mail messages with the old e-mail messages so they are all in one location. If I had to edit the combined list that would not be a problem. The goal is to get all of the e-mails in one location. If there is another way to backup the e-mail files, I can still do that as I kept the old hard drives in case there were any issues with the new install of Windows 7. Thanks for any help or insight that you could give for helping me with this issue.
This is a great method to back up your Thunderbird emails and contacts. Follow the instructions in the article and copy them to a folder on a backup drive. Files like this might be neglected unless you know where they are all located. All I can say is they worked for me — recently even. I confirmed when this article was republished. All I can say is that they should have moved if you copied the entire profile folder and its full contents.
Hi, Leo. This is less a comment than a question arising due to my old laptop failing my fault — I killed it via carelessness and having to xfer everything to a new computer. I like it and have been using it since switching from Eudora which I had installed on my Win95 machine back in the 19th century.
Still get updates and it still seems to work fine.
