Stupid question: where is the Preferences box?

Good day!

I am GUI-challenged, and proud of it, but I would like a bit of help.
When I start netscape (picked from an Earthlink CD) it raises a message
box that says (this is picked from --debugmsg +text and folded for
mailing convenience):

trace:text:DrawTextExW L"Error: temporary directory E: does not exist.
Please enter a new directory in the preferences box.", 99 ,
[(0,0),(264,0)]

Seems it wants to create E: (nil) and wine won't let it, since /gp/tmp
already exists, so I thought to do as the messagebox asks and enter a
new directory in the prefernces box, but - I can't find it.  Home, Go,
New&cool, Security, This Toolbar, That Shortcut all over the screen, but
where in the name of Babbage is preferences?
