To work around this issue, use either of the following methods:

- View the NetWare volume in Windows Explorer.

- Use the MAP command at an MS-DOS prompt to display the list of mapped drives
  and their volume names. To do so, type the following command at the MS-DOS
  prompt, and then press ENTER:

  " map " (without the quotation marks)

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION
