Number of Files in Shared Windows Directory
ID: Q71690

The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11
SUMMARY
If you install Microsoft Windows 3.0 with the EXPALL.BAT file on a
network, as described in the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide," Windows
3.0 places 283 files into the shared Windows directory (that is, 282
Windows files and 1 EXPALL.BAT file).
Any number less than 283 means that not all disks have been correctly
expanded into the shared Windows directory. As a result, if you use
the SETUP /N command with less than 283 files installed, Windows asks
for disks to be inserted during the installation procedure.
NOTE: When doing a directory (DIR) on a drive which displays the [.]
and [..] directory entries, 285 files are displayed, but these two
should not be counted in the total file number.
With Windows 3.1, 467 files are copied into the WINSHARE subdirectory
when you run SETUP /A, and 23 files are copied into a user's directory
when you run SETUP /N.
