   I hope that this is the right newsgroup for the following:   
      
   The problem:   
      
   Yesterday I installed what I thought was going to be a second copy of NS4.6   
   onto a different drive from the copy I've been using (because its original   
   drive is full). Like a complete plonker I ignored the warnings about   
   installing somewhere other than in the original location and without   
   uninstalling beforehand. Nevertheless it all worked afterwards but I   
   realised that my profile was still on the original drive so I moved it (I've   
   done this sort of thing before). This made Netscape fail and a window   
   appeared asking me to browse for the location of the profile, which I did.   
   However, this must have failed and for some reason Netscape wanted to find   
   D:\\archive and D:\\Cache right at the start of loading. The title   
   page/banner appeared and plugins etc were loaded then after loading   
   (attempting to load?) bookmarks it crashed with a page exception.   
      
   So, I thought I'd better go back to my original copy but this did the same.   
   Obviously there's some initialisation file in some predetermined location   
   used by both copies. I uninstalled the lot and reinstalled it but the   
   problems persisted. I think that what's happened is that when I installed   
   the second copy there were files in existence because the original copy was   
   still present so these files weren't reinstalled and therefore no record of   
   their installation was made in the, presumably overwritten, installation   
   log. Therefore the installation log that was created would not contain all   
   the information needed to permit a full unstallation.   
      
   The question:   
      
   Which files I can manually delete in order to fully uninstall and permit a   
   reinstallation from scratch? Or, which file contains locations of profiles   
   or whatever other resources it needs? I don't think this stuff is in the   
   registry but if anyone knows better please let me know.   
      
   JEH.
