Automating Network Pointing Devices via SETUP.INFLast reviewed: November 21, 1994Article ID: Q69968 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYWhen Microsoft Windows 3.0 is set up on a network workstation via the SETUP /N command, there are nine possible choices for pointing devices. It is possible to add additional pointing device drivers for touch screens, digitizing tablets, and trackballs by editing the SETUP.INF before running SETUP /N on the individual workstations.
MORE INFORMATIONUse the following outline to add additional pointing device drivers via the SETUP.INF file.
ExampleTo add the following two drivers, SUMMA.DRV and SUMMA.386, add the new line as follows:
Summa = 1:SUMMA.DRV, "Summa IS/100", 1:SUMMA.386The "1:" or "x:" is showing disk number, where driver is located. On network installations this is not valid. The SETUP.INF file is a comma-delineated text file formatted for 160 columns that supplies customized directions to the SETUP.EXE.
Preferred Workstation Setup MethodInstall Windows 3.0 on a network (see pages 543-556 of the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide"), and then run the SETUP /N command on each workstation. In some instances (for example, large workstation groups) it may not be efficient to do this and then customize each workstation individually. By editing the SETUP.INF file with a text editor, it is possible to enhance the SETUP /N command so that it customizes each workstation to a company standard.
