lock files

[ross <nospam [at] virgin.net>]

anyone know where Netscape keeps track of the lock files?

i moved my home directory and mail folders and now i get an error
message from netscape saying my netscape files are in use and that i
should delete the ../.netscape/lock file..... it's not in this path!

i've searched the whole file system for anything relating to 'lock' and
found nothing assosiated with netscape. the netscape files i've found
don't have any related entries in them either.

it's pretty anoying since it stops me using the cache and doesn't store
any bookmarks!

this hasn't effected any other users.

i tried deleteing my user entry and then recreating it....
i tried changing my uid.....
i deleted all mail and .netscape files and folder.......

anyone.....???????
