Configuring
Netscape
There
are several things you should take note of in the Preferences
section of the Edit menu. The items shown below are useful
for controlling your Start page in Netscape, clearing locations,
setting up for email, and saving disk space.
NAVIGATOR
SECTION
You can
use this section to indicate what Netscape should display
on startup, the page that the Home button 
will go to, and the opportunity to clear all information in
the History storage and in the Location bar.
FONTS
You have
the ability to control the types of fonts that will display
on the screen. You can also option to show the fonts that
were chosen for the page by its author.
MAIL
In order
to click on an email link on a Web page and have it access
your email, you must set up an email address and an email
server. The settings shown in the picture here are what should
be listed for the Identity and Servers section, respectively,
under the Mail and Newsgroups section.
ADVANCED
It is
recommended to check the "Enable Java" and "Enable
JavaScript" sections, along with the "Enable Style
Sheets" check box, as many Web pages use these items
for more sophisticated graphics and programs. Cookies are
short programs that are stored on your computer by Web sites
to gather information about you. These are used primarily
by retail sites. It is recommended you click on the seocnd
option: "Accept only cookies that get send back to the
originating server". This will prevent your information
from going to an unknown site.
CACHE
Under
the Advanced section, you can clear the Memory Cache and the
Disk Cache, which store pages for quicker referencing later.
Clearing these can free up disk space.
