The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q86423 SUMMARY
When modifying the [group#] section of the SETUP.INF file in Windows
version 3.1, it is not possible to modify the working directory property
for an application.
MORE INFORMATION
The SETUP.INF file can be modified to install a customized version of
Windows on multiple machines. It is possible to change the default
Program Manager groups, create other groups, and add applications to
these new groups.
The [group#] section of the SETUP.INF (where # is the number of the
group) is used to list applications that belong in a group. There are
entries for description, FILENAME.EXE, icon filename, icon n, and
profile, but no entry for working directory.
The following is an example of the SETUP.INF [group#] section:
[group4]
"Write", WRITE.EXE
"Paintbrush", PBRUSH.EXE,,, pbrush
"Terminal", TERMINAL.EXE,,, terminal
"Notepad", NOTEPAD.EXE,,, notepad
"Recorder", RECORDER.EXE,,, recorder
"Cardfile", CARDFILE.EXE,,, cardfile
"Calendar", CALENDAR.EXE,,, calendar
"Calculator", CALC.EXE,,, calc
"Clock", CLOCK.EXE,,, clock
"Object Packager", PACKAGER.EXE,,, packager
"Character Map", CHARMAP.EXE,,, charmap
"Media Player", MPLAYER.EXE,,, mplayer
