PS: Netscape users' tip of the year. Hate those Netscape advertisements that
appear in your email pane every time you open Netscape messenger? Close all
Netscape windows, find the file prafs.js in your Netscape directory, and
save a backup copy under another name. Edit the file "prefs.js" in a text
editor. Add the line:

user_pref("mailnews.start_page.enabled", false);

and save the file. Voila! No more ads for Netscape Mastercards.
Alternatively, you can display your favorite web page on startup by using
the following example. Instead of above, edit the file to read:

user_pref("mailnews.start_page.enabled", true);
user_pref("mailnews.start_page.url", "http://www.sfbike.org/");

or 

user_pref("mailnews.start_page.enabled", true);
