OFF95: Bookshelf 94 Still Available After Office Pro Install

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Office Professional for Windows 95, version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

After you perform an installation of Microsoft Office Professional for Windows 95, the Microsoft QuickShelf 94 toolbar may appear after you restart your computer. The folder (directory) and files for Bookshelf 94 may still be on your hard disk drive. If the QuickShelf 94 toolbar does appear, you may still be able to access the reference material from Microsoft Bookshelf 94.

CAUSE

Microsoft QuickShelf 94, by default, has either an icon in the Program Manager StartUp group in Windows NT or a shortcut in the StartUp folder in Windows 95--this icon is not removed when you run Office Professional for Windows 95 Setup. In addition, the folder and files for Bookshelf 94 remain, even after you run Setup for Office Professional for Windows 95. Therefore, you may have both Bookshelf/QuickShelf 94 and Bookshelf/QuickShelf 95 on your computer at the same time.

RESOLUTION

To fully remove QuickShelf and Bookshelf 94 from your computer, use the following steps:

1. Delete the QuickShelf 1994 program item from your StartUp Group (in Windows NT) or the QuickShelf 1994 shortcut in your StartUp folder (in Windows 95).

2. If QuickShelf 94 is running, click Exit on the QuickShelf menu.

3. Delete the Bookshelf 94 folder from your computer. By default, Bookshelf 94 is installed into the c:\Books94 folder.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
