"if I erased the file it would just regenerate itself with no problems?" no way. that is, about the 'no problems' part. the person who told me about it emphasized the need to back up the nsreg.dat file first. i took that to heart. i backed up the whole darn netscape user folder. then i backed up the nsreg.dat file. then, instead of deleting it, i renamed it nsreg.bak. and yes, it does regenerate itself. but you will be asked by netscape profile manager to provide a name for your new profile, and you should give it your old name. this is why i backed up the user folder, in case it all went to heck at this point. here is a copy of the notes that i have on that procedure, if you are interested... ************************* Rebuild the NetScape REGISTRY. Back up all USERS directories (folders). Close NetScape. Rename NSREG.DAT to NSREG.BAK in c:\windows, then restart NetScape. It will prompt for a new Profile. Give it the exact name of your old Profile and it should recognize it. Multiple Profiles can be restored the same way .Or create new Profiles. ************************** :) mark
