"Exploring" the cache ...
In Response To: Re: Surreal Experience ... ()

... the hard way. I squeezed down my Netscape Windows ("minimized" I think is the technical nerd term) and then opened Explorer. In my system, I had to successively open "C:\Program Files", "PBI" (which is my PacBell Internet folder for my internet provider), "Users", "User1" and then "Cache". This finally gave me a list of temporary files, all of which have these bizarre names (like M1unnr1, C0xddr2 and BoPoxxx).

I have my Explorer window set up to show file types; most of the files in the cache appear to be graphic files of one kind or another. So, I just looked for anything that didn't have a graphics extension. I found several that were just "files" and opened one. It had a BB message on it, so I just kept looking at that type of file until I found the right one.

I remember someone here posting a message once about an easier way to get to the cache directly in Netscape, but can't remember how to do it. Maybe someone can enlighten us.
