INF Files in the Infback Folder Have Incorrect Time Stamps

ID: Q188176

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 98

SYMPTOMS

Setup information (INF) files located in the Windows\Inf\Infback folder have later time stamps than those located in the Windows\Inf folder.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the time stamps of INF files in the Windows\Inf\Infback folder indicate the time they were moved into the folder.

MORE INFORMATION

INF files in the Windows\Inf\Infback folder are backup copies of the INF files located in your previous version of Window's Windows\Inf folder. Windows 98 Setup preserves these files, but they are not used.
