The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

When you start Workgroup Mail for the first time and choose to set up your own account, the default account name is the same name you used when installing Windows for Workgroups version 3.1.

Workgroup Mail in Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 reads the customer name information from the USER.EXE file located in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory for the default account name.

The account name can be changed during the setup process of Workgroup Mail.
