samba - Feb 2000 - Netscape Profiles

There was a posting on Netscape Profiles mapped to network drives that I was
hoping someone could help me with.  Other than setting the key for password
encryption, I've never messed with the NT registry keys.

I see this folder:
\Registry\Machine\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Users 
But making this part, I could use some help:
                           CurrentUser = Default
                           Default
                               DirRoot = h:\.netscape
                               UserName                                EmailAddr
I did the following under the \Registry\Machine\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Netscape
Navigator\Users folder :
     Edit, Add Value, Value Name: CurrentUser, Data Type: REG_SZ, String:
Default
     Edit, Add Key, Key Name: Default, Class: (left blank)
Under the new Default Key (folder)
     Edit, Add Value, Value Name: DirRoot, Data Type: REG_SZ, String:
F:\.netscape
     Edit, Add Value, Value Name: UserName, Data Type: REG_SZ, String: (left
blank)
     Edit, Add Value, Value Name: EmailAddr, Data Type: REG_SZ, String: (left
blank)

When I started up netscape, it didn't change.  Is this something simple like
I
need to reboot the PC, or did I screw up the HKEYs.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

EmailAddr I set my Netscape Profiles dir to subdirectory netscape on my samba
[Homes]
which is mapped via logon-script to H:

I use Netscape 4.51 (German) under win9x. At the first nescape install i 
entered H:\netscape into the ProfilesFolder entry.

I couldn't find the above Registry Key on one of my Win98 machines

I think you can change the Profiles folder in the Preferences Menu. 
Maybe if you change the local mail spool directory in the mail-server section
