First, you need to make the correct entries in the FTW.INI file:

1. Click the Windows Start button.
2. Click Find.
3. Click Files or Folders.
   Windows displays the Find:All Files dialog box.
4. In the Named field, type in FTW.INI
5. Click Find Now.
   Windows searches your hard drive for FTW.INI. When it locates the file, it lists it in the bottom half of the Find:All Files dialog box. In this case, skip to step 8. If Windows cannot find the file, the status bar of the dialog box will say "0 file(s) found." In this case, continue with step 6.
6. If Windows does not find FTW.INI, click the arrow on the right side of the Look In drop-down list and then select My Computer from the list that it displays.
7. Click Find Now again.
   Windows searches your hard drive for FTW.INI.
8. Double-click the FTW.INI file listed in the bottom half of the Find:All Files dialog box. Windows starts the Notepad application, with the contents of FTW.INI displayed in the Notepad window.
9. Scan through FTW.INI and locate a section titled "[Online]."
10. Add the following lines to the [Online] section:
    • BrowserType=32
    • Browser=1
    • BrowserPath=C:\Progra~1\Netsca~1\Naviga~1\Program\Netscape.exe

      In the "Browser Path" line, NETSCAPE.EXE is the Netscape Navigator browser file and everything before that is the path to this file -- the location of the file on your hard drive. Your path may be different from the one listed above. If you don't know where on your computer Netscape Navigator is installed, use the Windows Find command to search for NETSCAPE.EXE. When Windows locates this file, look in the In Folder column and copy down the complete path.

1. Start Netscape Navigator.
2. From the Options menu choose General Preferences.
3. Click the Helpers tab.
