MORE INFORMATION

In Microsoft Windows operating system 3.1, the [dontinstall] section is used to specify components to be installed. If an item appears in this section, the appropriate components were installed. In Windows for Workgroups, however, the opposite is true -- any items appearing in this section (all by default) are not installed.

If you have already completed installation, you can add any or all of these components to your Windows for Workgroups installation by using the Add/Remove Windows Components option on the Options menu of Windows for Workgroups Setup.
