Ok, here's the dealio ...

Running Win2K professional ...

I regularly download nightlies, and as we well know now, typically
they're 10x better than Netscape 6.01 even these days, more features,
fewer bugs, faster, etc etc etc.

For development reasons I want to keep Netscape 6 on my box, but I want
to run Mozilla .8+ as my general use browser.  Here's my problem.

I typically download the ZIP archives (not the installers) for Mozilla.
These I put into a /software/mozbuilds/builddate/ directory ... so I
don't put them over top of each other in case I end up with a bum
build.  I just run the .exe right from the file system.

Right now my NS6 is located in /program files/netscape/netscape6/ and I
run it from shortcuts, etc ....

Problem I'm having is that they seem to be sharing preferences, and I
want that to stop, particularly because there's a theme i want to be
using for my Mozilla builds which works great there, but literally
breaks my NS6.   I want all the preferences seperate.

I know there's the mozregistry.dat file, but how can I keep seperate
preferences for the two apps? Is it only as simple as a different
profile for each? how do I set up a different profile (can i just use
the NS6 profile manager and create a second profile? -- i guess i'll try
that having just thought of it) Help!!

Thanks in advance,
