Are the settings (home page, colors, fonts, etc.) still available in the 
stand-alone version of Netscape 4.x? 

While mail is one thing we need to block here at Hunter, maintaining the
settings is another (from my standpoint, that's even more important). We
can certainly make our .INI and bookmark files read-only, but then, we do
that with version 3 already. It'd be nice if there wasn't even the
appearance of an option to change default settings, but that's probably 
wishful thinking.

Is the lack of Messenger and the rest of the "extended" components 
(Collabra, Composer, Conference, etc) the only benefit of stand-alone 
Navigator 4?
