10195 2001-03-19 09:25:00 I use Netscape 4.7x and automaticaly launch both the browser and email when starting. I always get some sort of Netscape News crap filling my screen on the email window (not Browser)... I quickly have to click stop and then check for new mail. How do I disable it?? After all, who cares about what some U.S high school football team scored in the nationals or whatever?? Guest (0)

Open your preferences file (prefs.js in Windows), click the Start button, choose Find, Files or Folders, type prefs.js, and click Find Now. When you locate your prefs.js file, right-click it and choose Open With, Notepad.) If there are multiple profiles on your computer, be sure you are editing the preferences file for the correct profile. You can safely ignore the 'Do not edit this file' warning in the preferences file while you are setting this preference since Communicator is not running.

Add the following line to the bottom of your preferences file: user_pref('mailnews.start_page.enabled', false);

Save and close the file.

This will cause Messenger to start up with an empty message pane.
