Deleting the saved preferences

Sometimes you may want to delete the saved preferences file. For example, if you have changed the applet parameters for preferences in a web page to load JET 6530 you need to delete the saved preferences before you can check that the applet parameters are working as expected. Follow these steps:

  • Close all JET 6530 sessions.
  • Exit the browser.
  • Locate the local session directory.
    The location of the local session directory depends on the web browser and operating system:
    • Communicator
      • Windows 98
        If Communicator was installed in the default directory then the local session directory is:
        C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\user\.jet6530
        where user is the profile name.
      • Solaris, HP-UX, Linux and AIX
        The local session directory is:
        ~/.netscape/.jet6530
    • Internet Explorer
      • Windows 98
        • Microsoft VM
          If Windows was installed in the default directory, then the local session directory is:
          C:\WINDOWS\JAVA\.jet6530
        • Java Plug-in
          If Windows was installed in the default directory, then the local session directory is:
          C:\WINDOWS\.jet6530
      • Mac OS X
        The local session directory is a folder called .jet6530 in the user's home folder. It is not visible from the Finder.
    • Netscape 6
      • Windows 98
        If Windows 98 was installed in the default directory, then the local session directory is:
        C:\WINDOWS\.jet6530
    The general rule is that the local session directory is called .jet6530 and is a subdirectory of the user's home directory as given by the browser (i.e. the user.home system property).
  • Locate the preferences file. It is in the local session directory and is named "preferences".
  • Use the method appropriate to the operating system to delete the preferences file (eg. Windows Explorer, the rm command).
