You can either disable the Messenger Start Page or change the URL it loads.
To disable it:
* Exit Netscape.
* Open Windows Explorer and go to your ...\Netscape\Users\{username}\ directory.
* Find the file named prefs.js and make a backup copy. You can do this quickly in Windows Explorer by right-clicking prefs.js, choosing Copy, then right-click a blank space in Explorer's right pane and choose Paste.
* Use Notepad or another text editor to open prefs.js.
* Add the following line on a line of its own:
user_pref("mailnews.start_page.enabled", false);
You may wish to copy and paste the above line to avoid misspellings.
* If you typed in the above line, verify that it is exactly as shown above. Errors will cause this to fail to work, and may result in a corrupted prefs.js file.
* Close the text editor and save changes.
* Restart Netscape.
To change the URL:
* Follow steps 1-4 above.
* Add the following on a line of its own:
user_pref("mailnews.start_page.url", "http://home.netscape.com/");
Replace http://home.netscape.com/ with the full URL you wish to use instead.
* Verify that line is exactly as shown above, with the URL you wish to use in quotes. Errors will cause this to fail to work, and may result in a corrupted prefs.js file.
* Close the text editor and save changes.
* Restart Netscape.
