;************				Paranoia Netscape Navigator Launcher
;************
;************ All disclaimers and legal mumbojumbo that are always applied to shareware/freeware apply to this
;************ chunk of code too.  Every effort was made to throughly debug this script before sending it out.
;************ However, I make ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, as to the operation of this script.
;************
;************ This script modifies the registry.  As with any program which does so, a registry backup should be
;************ performed before running this script for the first time on your computer.
;************ 
;************ This script was written specifically for use with Netscape.  I have never used MS Internet Explorer but
;************ I am sure that the script will need to be modified to work with MS IE.
;************
;************ When executed, this script creates a backup of the bookmark file then replaces the bookmarks with your
;************ personal copy of bookmark file.  After the Netscape session, the "in use" bookmark file is copied to
;************ your personal bookmark file and the original bookmark file is returned to use.  The cookies file, history
;************ file and cache files are deleted and the current user URL History key of the registry is cleared.
;************ 
;************ Special Notes
;************
;************ If Netscape is not installed under C:\Program Files, you will need to change the path.  In the three lines
;************ that deal with MyBkmark.htm (the personal bookmark file), you will need to change XXX to the directory
;************ of your choice.  If you REALLY don't want to take the chance of someone seeing this file, you can use a
;************ floppy instead.  When Netscape is launched, the RunWait command calls a shortcut on the desktop instead
;************ of the executable.  If you do not have a shortcut on your desktop, or if the shortcut name is different,
;************ you will need to change this line.  Once in a great while on my computer, Netscape crashes for no obvious
;************ reason.  If this happens during one of your sessions, all bets are off.  You will probably need to deal with
;************ all of the post-session file copying manually.
