SYMPTOMS
========

You receive the following error message soon after you select the Browse feature
in the Program Item Properties dialog box of Microsoft Windows Program Manager:

  The specified path is invalid

CAUSE
=====

This message occurs only when the path statement in the Command Line box is
invalid.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, do one of the following:

1. Delete all text in the Command Line box, then choose Browse.

2. Type an existing path in the Command Line box, then choose Browse.

The Browse feature in the Program Item Properties dialog box uses the path in the
Command Line box as its initial directory to browse. If this directory is
invalid, the error message above is displayed.
