    In maintaining NS4.79 freguently delete netscape.hst file and manually clear the cache file. What are the related files in mozilla 1.0? What should one delete and where are they located?

    Thanks,

    Marvin

    Hi Marvin,

    Those files are located in your Profiles folder:
    C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\yourprofilename\xxxxxxxx.slt

    history.dat
    history.mab

    C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\yourprofilename\xxxxxxxx.slt\Cache

    I have a small .bat file which deletes those files at startup. I created the file, then added a "Call" to that file, in the autoexec.bat file. tranquilo gave me this useful tip some time ago, and I use it for all three of my Netscape/Mozilla browsers.

    If you're interested let me know.

    Ramona :D

    mozilla Cleanup

    Ramona,

    Thanks for the info, I had looked and looked for a history file but did not find one until you pointed me in the correct direction. I have the NS 7 full version downloaded, but not installed. I am trying to download the streamlined version, but it starts over every time I try to pick up from where I prev. left off. Now I read that the Mozilla 1.1 is better that tne 1.0, but have not downloaded it yet. Mozilla 1.0 seems to work well for me, and so does NS 4.79.

    I would be interested in your bat file for clearing the history and cache files, but not sure I want to clear at every startup. Do you remember a while back when there was a job called something ? eraser, which cleared the NS cache, history, and cookie files? You could select what you wanted to clear out. Did someone ever make one for the newer versions of Netscape?

    Thanks again,

    Marvin
