To Thwart All Cookies
When you restart Netscape and it tries to accept a cookie by creating a file called "MagicCookie", it won't be allowed because a folder can't be replaced by a file of the same name. With this empty folder in place, you can even change the Netscape option back to its default of NOT showing an alert before accepting a cookie, because even if it tries, it can't do it.
