How to use .NET to cleanup Netscape's Cache files???

Hello,
I am writting a utility program to clean diskspace used by Web Browsers, I
can clean up Internet Explorer's temp folder.
but I also want to clean up Netscape (any version, but Current 7.2 version
preferrably) does anyone know where Netscape store its Cache, or Temp
Folder? and History?
and also how about AOL's Browser cache?

I am developping the Clean up software using VB .NET 2003
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
SJ

temporarily hold documents gleaned from web browsing"

thank you Nate,
Unfortunately it did not help, I am targeting Netscape 6.x and 7.2
essentially the latest netscape... Also this information seems to relate to
Netscape under a flavor of Unix environment whereas I am targeting Windows
Environment...

Any other would be appreciated...

Hi all, I'm having a bizarre problem converting XML files to HTML using an XSLT. The problem is only occuring in my Netscape 7.0 browser. What makes it more bizarre is that it is only happening when I put my XML files and the .xsl files on my ISP's system for my home page. If I try to open the XML files in Netscape 7.0 on my own machine (ie, not on the ISP's system), the pages convert file and the result is displayed in HTML.

Hello, I'm currently in the process of implementing a file cache, and am looking for any existing design patterns. I hadn't had much luck with google, is anyone aware of a good file cache pattern (in my case, I think the update:request ratio is around 1:1000000). Thanks in advance, Leon Mergen

It seems that garbage collection is somewhat flawed in Netscape as the following little script can bring a machine to its knees in about an hour when run on Netstcape 7.1. I've tried freeing the variables manually, but Im not sure whats broken. I assume that the images aren't being freed when they are replaced. Is there a workaround/solution to this? I've read some old postings about this in 4.x browsers, but I never saw a solution, and...

I am storing all my application data in the application cache. Anytime I have a method as part of an asp.net form, I need to access the objects in the cache. The only way I can think of to do this is to call something like: MyDataType LocalVar = (MyDataType)Cache; Which works fine, but I'm having to put that code at the top of every method in my form that uses the cached data. It seems there must be a more elegant way to do this. I...

Does anyone know how to disable javascript in the new Netscape 8 -- for off line testing (like can be done readily with the current MSIE, Firefox or Opera browsers) ? When I try tools -> options -> site controls -> web features and check or uncheck the 'enable javascript' box, nothing changes -- it stays enabled. I've searched FAQs, archives and google about the issue, with no luck.

Hi all I am just wondering how most people implement cleanup in C functions. In particular, if the function opens a number of resources, these need to be released properly should an error occur at any point in the function (as well as at the end if successful). C++ has exceptions, the only way I can see to do this neatly in C is to use goto statements. Is my method of implementing cleanup good, or are their better ways. Here is an...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
