I'm running Netscape Navigator 3.04 on Windows 95 on a public PC. I've
fixed my netscape.hst and prefs.js files to read-only, and I have read all
kinds of tips on clearing the history file after every user. Now the
problem is the location bar drop-down history list. I've seen the Netscape
Help site for how to clear the pulldown menu, but you have to do this every
time a user ends, and this is a bit labor-intensive. I've also viewed their
"clearing the Netscape history file" site, which clears the netscape.hst
file but not the pulldown menu.
Apparently even after I take care of netscape.hst and prefs.js, that list is
still available. I got clever and tried to "record" it and disable it in
IKIOSK, but that doesn't work, and it makes the "disabled" message pop up in
other places as well - like when I start Netscape.
I want to disable that drop-down list so that users can't select sites
others have typed in (for various reasons). Any clues??
