   Removing Netscape 8

   I want to remove Netscape 8 and retain Netscape 7.2.  I have Windowsxp   
   home.  I have an icon for each version on my desktop, and each works.   
      
   When I go into explorer, I find a folder for Netscape 7.1, which appears   
   to contain Netscape 7.2 and an uninstall program.   
      
   There is another folder named Netscape, which appears to contain   
   Netscape 8 and an uninstall program.   
      
   When I use the add/remove feature of the control panel, I find Netscape   
   7.1 with apparently nothing in it (no size is shown).   
      
   Below that is Netscape 7.2 which contains data.   
      
   Below that is Netscape Browser, which contains data appearing to be   
   Netscape 8.   
      
   It appears my choice is between using the uninstall program in the   
   netscape folder via explorer, or zapping netscape browser via program   
   removal on the control panel.   
      
   Are these equally safe, or is one method safer.  What scares me is that   
   I have spent a lot of time recovering my profiles after Windows   
   truncated a file, and when I look around in explorer I find multiple   
   profile files, some in the netscape folders, but some in Documents and   
   Settings, not to mention the copy I put on my E drive.
