The other way to modify this option is throught the Communicator preferences file, prefs.js. This file is located in your ...\Netscape\Users\{username}\ directory. Before making changes to this file, Netscape must not be running, you should always make a backup copy of the file before beginning, and the file should be edited from a text editor such as Notepad. Note that these parameters in this file are case sensitive. On a new line make the entry user_pref('general.startup.news', 'false'); The default is false. A full list of the preferences can be found at developer.netscape.com	Guest (0)
