Re: Again: No mail notification sound in NS 6.2 :-(
Doesn't the winxp have a program where you can revert your directory to an
earlier time? If it does just revert back to the time before you fixed the
sound.

Mail notification sound does not work in 6.2 and there is nothing youcan do to make it work that I know of.Sound notification works in Mozilla as of about 2 weeks ago or so anduses the default New Mail Notification sound file in Windows.

But it DOES work on my wife's user account and it did work before I changedit in my account, too! It just uses the default Windows warning signal, notthe windows sound which is set for 'New mail notification'...Strange...olli
NS 6.2: starting with special working dir
Hello. I am thinking about putting Netscape 6.2 in a lab of Windows 98 machines. Students using this lab log in and have a personal network share on a samba server mapped to drive F. What I would like to be able to do is have the students evoke Netscape in such a way that it opens with the mail window and all of their settings/messages are saved to the network F drive. 1. Is it as simple as modifying a Windows shortcut so that the binary is called with -mail and the working directory is set to F:\netscape? 2. Which files would I need to put in f:\netscape to provide an initial skeleton for students, to which they would add their personal settings? Long ago I worked at a place that did this with NS 4, but they were also able doing some of the magic with Novell login scripts. Thanks in advance, --chris
