[WEB4LIB] Netscape 4.08 question

[Andrew I. Mutch]

Isabel,

This might just be a unique situation but I've found that if I install
both on the same machine, even into unique directories, that the second
installed will use the preferences files found in the Users directory of
the first.  So, if you make changes to prefs.js in one, it appears in the
other.  The way I found to fix this it to use the User Profile Manager to
create a new Default in the installation location of the second installed.
Once you do this, the second installed will use this new Default
directory to pull its preferences.

Good Luck!
