SUMMARY
When you install Berkeley Systems After Dark, several files are installed
in various places on the hard disk drive and Microsoft Windows files are
modified. If you need or want to remove these files, several steps must be
taken.
MORE INFORMATION
There are two ways to remove After Dark files.
Option 1: Temporary, for Troubleshooting Windows
- After Dark adds AD-DOS.COM to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. AD-DOS.COM must be
disabled using the REM command. (It is a terminate-and-stay-resident
[TSR] program.)
NOTE: AD-DOS.COM is optional and is not always installed.
- Place a semicolon (;) in front of the "L" of Load= line in the WIN.INI
file. This disables the Load= line so that After Dark cannot
automatically load.
- The SYSTEM.INI file must also be edited. In the [386Enh] section, place
a semicolon (;) in front of the device=ad.386 line. This disables the
After Dark device driver.
Option 2: Permanent, Total Removal of Files
- Delete the After Dark directory (default is C:\AFTERDRK) and all its
files.
- Delete the following files in the Windows directory:
GRAFSTAT.TXT, ADMODULES.ADS, MESSAGES.ADS, RANDOM.ADS,
AD_PREFS.INI, AD-DOS.COM
- The backup files for AUTOEXEC.BAT, SYSTEM.INI, and WIN.INI are
named AUTOEXEC.ADK, SYSTEM.ADK, and WIN.ADK. These backup files are
placed in the Windows directory. You should rename these files to
the correct extensions. For example, rename AUTOEXEC.ADK to
AUTOEXEC.BAT.
