Win95? I have a fix for corrupt icons, but damned if I know whether it
applies to Win95.
To connect directly to Win95, copy the following into your browser's

However,
(1) At "OE, Tools menu, Message Rules, News", create a Message Rule to
delete posts older than, say, 10 days. Also check "stop processing more
rules".
(2) At "Tools, Options, Read tab", uncheck "Get xxx headers at a time".
(3) R-Clk the NG in the left pane, Synchronize Settings, set to All
Messages.
(4) Click "Tools, Synchronize Newsgroup"
(Now, it is a bit tricky. When I click one of those things, it gets
right to it. One really need stop it & get that rule in. I do believe,
it will then not download older than the rule specifies.)
Posts older than 10 days will not download. Posts that age on your
machine after the download are your responsibility to delete, by
occasionally going to that rule & clicking "Apply Now". After that,
compact: "OE, File menu, Folder, Compact all folders".
Colorado disagrees, but there is a cave-dwelling MVP around, who
cautions against "OE, Tools, Options, Maintenance tab, Compact messages
in the background". If that is checked, then uncheck it.
