To stop netscape from saving in the C:\program
files\netscape\navigator\program directory.

Netscape defaults to save in its current "Working Directory" which can
be edited in the shortcut that points to netscape (or the PIF if your still into
that)

I haven't tried to edit Netscape yet, (have been thinking about it though)
has anybody run into checksum errors? I should think that netscape
would have at least made sure you can't edit the binary. (perhaps not??)

The secret is to do this editing under Windows NT.  For some reason
(which you can find in the MS Knowledge Base), you can't resave exe's
after editing their resources in Windows 95.  It works great in NT though.
 I edited up quite a few dialog boxes to lock in what I want.  We're going
to let the students use Netscape for mail, so I wanted to lock their names
in so they wouldn't be doing the anonymous mail thing.

My problem now is how to make the save location default to some place
besides the Netscape program directory.  I have used Win95 policies to
hide all of the drives but a: and h: (h: being their home directory on the
network), but it always goes to the Netscape program directory first in
the common dialog for saving files.
