I wrote a little REXX program to do just that (and to wipe out the cache and history), but it could be handled in an MS-DOS batch file, too. Something like if exist f:\netscape\cookies del f:\netscape\cookies > nul f:\netscape\netscape.exe if exist f:\netscape\cookies del f:\netscape\cookies > nul would do the trick. The first and last lines are a belt-and-suspenders approach to ensuring that cookies are wiped out in case Netscape is started by some means other than clicking on the icon.
