DOCUMENT:Q95859 22-NOV-1999 [msdos] TITLE :Extra Tools Menu Added to Norton Desktop for Windows PRODUCT :Microsoft Disk Operating System PROD/VER:MS-DOS:6.0,6.2,6.21,6.22 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.0, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft DriveSpace. For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and filenames. If Windows is installed on your computer when you run the MS-DOS 6 Upgrade Setup program, Setup installs a Tools menu in the File Manager toolbar. If you use Norton Desktop for Windows, you have two Tools menus after you install the MS-DOS Upgrade.

WORKAROUND ========== You can keep both Tools menus in Norton Desktop for Windows or you can remove the second Tools menu by telling Norton Desktop for Windows to ignore the add-ins section in the File Manager information file (WINFILE.INI).To configure Norton Desktop for Windows to ignore File Manager add-ins, set the MaxWinFileExtensions line to "0" (without the quotation marks) (zero) in your NDW.INI file, for example: " MaxWinFileExtensions=0 " (without the quotation marks) This disables all of the add-ins inherited from File Manager. MORE INFORMATION ================ The two tools menus have different functions. The Tools menu in File Manager and the Tools menu in Norton Desktop for Windows give you the following options: Command Description --------------------------------- Backup Runs Microsoft Backup Antivirus Runs Microsoft Anti-Virus DoubleSpace Info Provides DoubleSpace statistics if you have DoubleSpace installed Norton Desktop for Windows is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
