The Netscape.ini file seems to be a binary file but clearly has a section 
pointing to the bookmars (for me) at d:\netscape\bookmar.htm. Use a good 
editor that won't balk at the pure ascii and long lines and edit the file 
name. Keep the length the same in case the field is a string or delimited or 
something. Always make backups of your files before playing like this.
