User's Guide Incorrectly Describes SPART.PAR & 386SPART.PAR

ID: Q72308

3.00 3.00a WINDOWS

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

Page 521 of the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide" for version 3.0 incorrectly states:

A permanent Windows swap file consists of two hidden, write- protected files. The files are named SPART.PAR and 386SPART.PAR. Do not delete, move, or rename these files."

The 386SPART.PAR file is hidden but not write-protected, while SPART.PAR is write-protected (read-only attribute) but not hidden.

Performing a directory listing from the MS-DOS prompt of the Windows directory using "DIR *.PAR" will show the SPART.PAR. Through File Manager, performing a Search for *.PAR with or without showing HIDDEN/SYSTEMS FILES, will show both files.
