Won't work for me--I almost never install NS in the assumed default
path. In fact, the only things I install in the default paths (or even
on the c: drive) are Microsoft goobies, which hate it if you try to
confuse them. Plus I have some systems that have no NetScape on them,
'cause I have to use IE5 for work. Bleaugh.
