The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.0, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft DriveSpace.
For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and filenames.
If Windows is installed on your computer when you run the MS-DOS 6 Upgrade Setup
program, Setup installs a Tools menu in the File Manager toolbar. If you use
Norton Desktop for Windows, you have two Tools menus after you install the
MS-DOS Upgrade.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs because Norton Desktop for Windows has one Tools menu and
inherits a second one from File Manager by reading the WINFILE.INI file.
WORKAROUND
==========
You can keep both Tools menus in Norton Desktop for Windows or you can remove
the second Tools menu by telling Norton Desktop for Windows to ignore the
add-ins section in the File Manager information file (WINFILE.INI).To configure
Norton Desktop for Windows to ignore File Manager add-ins, set the
MaxWinFileExtensions line to "0" (without the quotation marks) (zero) in your
NDW.INI file, for example:
" MaxWinFileExtensions=0 " (without the quotation marks)
This disables all of the add-ins inherited from File Manager.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The two tools menus have different functions. The Tools menu in File Manager and
the Tools menu in Norton Desktop for Windows give you the following options:
