A possible solution is to install the 16-bit version of Netscape instead 
of the 32-bit (Windows 95) version.  The 16-bit version doesn not make 
use of the Windows 95 Common Dialog boxes (which allow those nasty 
functions like Delete, New Folder etc); it uses the plain old 16-bit 
Common Dialogs.
