Window Washer 6.0 Online Manual

Selecting Netscape Profiles to Wash

If you are using Netscape 6.x or higher, you must select which profiles you want to wash. Window Washer only washes selected profiles. Netscape profiles let you set up different settings such as bookmarks, preferences, e-mail, and more, under separately named profiles.

When you installed Window Washer, you had the option to select Netscape profiles. If you selected the profiles you want to wash during installation, you do not need to do it again.

If you are using an earlier version of Netscape, you only have to select the wash items. For more information, see Selecting Netscape Wash Items.
