Creating and Configuring a Briefcase

Windows 95 automatically configures Briefcase and installs it on your Windows 95 desktop if you choose it during Custom Setup of Windows 95, or if you choose the Portable Setup Type. If you do not choose either of these Setup options, you can install Briefcase afterward in the Add/Remove Programs option in Control Panel.

To install Briefcase after Windows 95 installation

  1. In Control Panel, double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
  2. Click the Windows Setup tab, and in the Components list click Accessories, and then click the Details button.
  3. In the Accessories dialog box, click Briefcase, and then click OK.

If you install Briefcase, it appears as an icon on your Windows 95 desktop. To run Briefcase, double-click its icon.

Tip

You can use Briefcase to synchronize files between a portable computer running Windows 95 and a desktop computer running Windows NT 3.5.
