How to get Netscape Navigator to work with Windows NT NewShell

Technical note:10120
Created:01/03/96 by Brian
Product:Netscape Navigator
Operating system:Windows NT

If you try to run the 32-bit version of Netscape Navigator (1.x or 2.0)
on a Windows NT system with the "Windows 95 Shell Preview" ("NewShell")
installed, you will get this error as soon as Netscape Navigator starts up:
    Netscape was unable to create a network socket connection.  There
    may be insufficient system resources or the network may be down.
    (Reason: Invalid argument)
    Try connecting again later or try restarting Netscape.  You can also
    try restarting Windows.
To solve this, go into the Windows NT registry by running "regedt32",
then go to this section:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
Delete the entries there for NETSCAPE.EXE, NAPLAYER.EXE, and any other
applications which have trouble with NewShell.
You should now be able to run Netscape Navigator under NewShell without
any trouble.
