Netscape 4.7 & Win 200 Problems!!!

Lex_Diamonds

I made a guest login for windows 2000 and for some reason netscape wont let me keep bookmarks from the guest login. Whenever I try to import my bookmarks windows sais it cannot access the file.

Even creating new bookmarks as a guest doesnt work because next time I boot up they are gone. In administrator login all my bookmarks work fine, what is up? Thanks for the help.

Sounds to me like the permissions, ahm, maybe the guest user can create the bookmarks, but not SAVE them when netscape exits, and it just never tells you.

You're probably running netscape from the same location administrator is running it from, and they're sharing the bookmarks file, or, only admin has read/write access to it.

I don't know really, without being there fiddling with it. Play about with the permissions, and answer me this: Netscape 4.7? in my experience, it's a god-awful piece of software... IE is better, and Opera (www.opera.com ) is great. Just a suggestion, you're obviously happy using netscape...

(look of utter confusion and bewilderment)

Heh, ah fair enough. If I may be so bold, Opera has a lovely mail client too.

Ah g'wan, it's only 2mb, you know you want to.

Thanks m8, you were right. I checked the file properties and only admins had access to it. I changed it and it now works!

As for the reason I use Netscape 4.7? Its got a nice mail client :-)
