Add/Remove Components Does Not Delete .INI Files

ID: Q89355


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11


SUMMARY

You can use the Windows version 3.1 Setup program to add or remove selected Windows components that are being run within Windows. However, if you remove components that created .INI files (such as Mail version 3.0 and Schedule+ version 1.0), the associated .INI files are not deleted.


MORE INFORMATION

After you remove a Windows component, you should back up, then delete the associated .INI file. This ensures that when the component is added back into Windows, it installs with defaults.

You do not need to delete the .INI file when you replace corrupt .EXE or .HLP files for a component.
