ID: Q184785

The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMS
When you view the Program Files folder as a Web page on a Windows 98-based
computer using a Microsoft Windows 95-based or Microsoft Windows NT-based
computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later installed, the
files in the Program Files folder may be displayed incorrectly, and you
may receive the following message:
Warning
Modifying the contents of this folder may cause your programs
to stop working correctly.
To add or remove programs, click Start, point to Settings,
click Control Panel, and then click Add/Remove Programs.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because the Windows 95-based or Windows NT-based
computers do not have the Webview.css file installed. This file is needed
to correctly display the default Windows 98 Program Files folder in Web
View.
RESOLUTION
To prevent files in the Program Files folder from being displayed
incorrectly when you view the Program Files folder as a Web page on your
Windows 98-based computer, copy the Webview.css file to the Program Files
folder, and then modify the Folder.htt file located in the Program Files
folder. To do so, use the following steps:
- The Webview.css and Folder.htt files have the hidden attribute. Verify
that you can view hidden files on your Windows 98-based computer. To do
so, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
