[WEB4LIB] Netscape registry error

[Jacque King]

Bill,

I too have had this problem. I know of one fix, but you may not want to
use it:  make the user a local "power user".

Another thing to try is (if you are using NTFS) change permissions on the
nsreg.dat file so that your user has "change" permission.

If you find a better way, please let me know :)
