Netscape Address Books and Bookmarks

 

Netscape stores user's Address Book and Bookmarks on the hard drive of their computer. However these 2 files can be copied or backed up to other systems.

1. Your bookmarks are stored in a file called:
C:\Program Files\Netscape\users\profile name\bookmark.htm

2. Your address book is stored in a file called:
C:\Program Files\Netscape\users\profile name\pab.na2
  • The 'profile name' is the name of your Netscape profile
    (usually your name).
  • The actual pathway location may be different on some machines but most should have the standard Monash Installation.

Backing Up Your Bookmarks and Address Book.

Copy the above two files to a floppy disk or some other media (CD, zip disk)
