## About Netcaster

Netscape Netcaster enables you to subscribe to and schedule automatic delivery of the information you want, from the best channels on the web, instead of manually downloading and searching for information. Netcaster also provides offline browsing, which can save you connection charges by allowing you to choose any web site to automatically download and make that information accessible while you are offline (disconnected from the Internet).

## About User Profiles

### An overview of user profiles and sharing Navigator with others

Note that user profiles apply to Macintosh and Windows only. For Unix, create another user account instead of creating Navigator profiles.

When you start Navigator for the first time, it prompts you to create a user profile. User profiles let more than one person use Navigator to access the Internet in different ways. For example, if you share your copy with other users, each of you can create your own user profiles to keep your settings, preferences, bookmarks, and mail messages separate. Even if you are the only person using Navigator, you must create at least one profile for yourself.

If you want to, you can create several profiles just for yourself, for example, if you want to connect to a different service provider to try out its service without canceling the account you have with your current service provider.

## Creating User Profiles

Note that user profiles apply to Macintosh and Windows only. For Unix, create another user account instead of creating Navigator profiles.

### To create additional user profiles

1. (Windows) If Navigator is running, from the File menu choose Exit.

   (Macintosh) If Navigator is running, from the File menu choose Quit.

2. (Windows 95 and Windows NT) From the Start menu, choose Programs, then Netscape Navigator, then choose Utilities, then User Profile Manager.

   (Windows 3.1) Open the Netscape Navigator program group, and double-click User Profile Manager.

   (Macintosh) Open the Netscape Navigator folder, and double-click User Profile Manager.

3. Click New.
4. Follow the Profile Setup instructions that appear.
