'ls -a /home/[username]/.netscape/' that should display hidden
(eg, .) files. Then 'rm' the culprit.

Let me make a suggestion here. Don't even setup Kppp, or any
dialer, or any apps in your root desktop to access the Net. NEVER
connect to the Net as root. You'll be just as exposed as the average
Windoze user, ie, com'on nasty crackers!! ;> There is no reason and
no excuse to EVER connect as root. (period)
