NSClean Information

Copyright 1996, Kevin McAleavey

  NSClean is designed to look for a NETSCAPE.INI file to gather settings data. For most versions of Netscape, NSClean will automatically find it in a C:directory or if you are using Windows95 in the Win95 registry where it is carefully hidden.

  On very early versions of Netscape, the NETSCAPE.INI file is actually in the C:\WINDOWS directory instead of in the C:\NETSCAPE directory. You should try C:\WINDOWS as the first entry in the directory dialog box in case it's there. To prevent mixups, NSClean does NOT look there.

  If NSClean says it isn't there, then it is in some other directory. If your Netscape installation is in a directory other than C:\NETSCAPE you will have to manually enter the exact directory name. Under WIndows95, just hit the CANCEL button to look in the Win95 registry for the location.

  All you have to do is enter the name of the directory where yours is now to make things wake up properly. All you need is the directory name!

Example:

  If Netscape is in C:\INTERNET\NETSCAPE, you would type in

C:\INTERNET\NETSCAPE

in the box and click on OK. If it is on a network drive or other location, be sure to include the correct drive letter.

  If you have no idea of where it is, exit the NSClean program, and go to the group where Netscape is. Click ONCE on the Netscape icon (but don't run it) and it will be highlighted.

  Once the Netscape icon is highlighted, move up to the menu bar and click on "File". Then click on "Properties". In the section "Working Directory" is the name of the directory where NETSCAPE.INI usually is located.

  Write down this directory name and when you run NSClean again, put in that information and there you are! Be sure to exit NSClean and then run it again to allow the new settings to take effect.
