Does any one know how to uninstall it? I noticed that there is no uninstall
through the Add Remove Programs in my Control Panel, nor did I find an
Unwise program listed in the program group in my start menu. Also, I
searched for unwise.exe in the Netscape folder. That didn't work. So I
searched for all exe's and I found an uninstall and such, but that was
located in the AIM section of Netscape. Is there no way to uninstall it
aside from deleting out all references in the registry and deleting folders
manually? Or am I just missing the uninstall........?
TIA

Subject: Netscape 6 -- slightly off the wall

I started to use NN6 a few days ago.  The location box doesn't drop down or
select all
when clicked in.  I miss this.  the browse history is still there. I got rid
of the
nasty sidebar in the browser - View & uncheck sidebar, but I can't get it to
go away in
the mail program.  I do like the multiple accounts feature, but I haven't
configed it
yet.  No right click in the mail program.  I was able to get my old address
book in
there.  had to export & import it again.

My sites are showing up ok in NN6.  Now we have something new to author in;
am less
than thrilled about this.
Haven't had any crashes yet with it.  At least it didn't eat my old mailbox.
I'll
stick to NN4.7 for browsing until they put back my old toys.  It does seem
faster tho.
