SYMPTOMSIf the WINFILE.INI file is assigned the hidden or system attribute, the following error message is displayed when you run Windows 3.1:
RESOLUTION
To correct this error, remove the hidden or system attribute from the
WINFILE.INI file.
attrib <filename>To change the attributes of a file, change to the directory that the file is in. Use the following command, then press ENTER: attrib [+r|-r] [+a|-a] [+s|-s] [+h|-h] [drive:][path][filename] MORE INFORMATIONThe File Manager (WINFILE.EXE) uses the WINFILE.INI file to store configuration information. If the WINFILE.INI does not exist, it is created by WINFILE.EXE when launched. The MS-DOS hidden and/or system attributes make the WINFILE.INI invisible to WINFILE.EXE. When WINFILE.EXE attempts to create a new WINFILE.INI file, MS-DOS generates a file creation error, because this file already exists. This error generates the GP fault message.
