Hello!

Larger intervals appears when you close Netscape, this message is with growing blue bar.

What actually happens there?

Hi,

I do not know, but can give a tip.

There is a freeware program "Rescue Me" (really means). Because you can practically make a system image and subsequent images.

Thus you can see the changes to the system

I know. However, this occurs even when you are on offline pages, then close Netscape. I've completely erased Netscape (up to the user directory, there are your settings in it), then newly Requirements, Users directory back, done.

If you only have "one" Netscape defined, re-naming the "registry.dat" whilst Netscape is open, with QuickLaunch disabled, will as others have stated re-build the registry.dat file upon exit.

If you have more than one defined under Netscape, close QuickLaunch from the task-bar, locate the "registry.dat" file and re-name it, and then launch Netscape's Profile Manager from the short-cut created in the START/PROGRAMS/Netscape folder. Once opened, select create "new" profile, and when prompted name the first profile exactly as you had before, and using the BROWSE button select the folder where your Netscape by that name is stored, but stop at the folder immediately above the one named for the ; repeat this process for each and every other . Once all have been defined once again, close and exit from the Netscape Profile Manager, and locate the "registry.dat" file for your first and make it "read-only" by right-clicking on the file and selecting properties, and then under the GENERAL tab (that's usually where it opens, tick read-only, apply and close; repeating this process for each and every profile.

I've done this a few weeks ago at the suggestion of one of the user's here and the "registry.dat" file for each profile has remained constant at 113Kb throughout the duration.

Either way, just make certain to locate the file, and make it read-only.

I've not encountered any problems thus far with plug-ins. I would of course remove the read-only attribute if I was going to make changes to a given and once having done so would re-set the read-only status. I in addition have the file backed-up, just in case I goof somewhere along the line and forget to restore the read-only attribute.
