SUMMARY
=======
When modifying the [group#] section of the SETUP.INF file in Windows version
3.1, it is not possible to modify the working directory property for an
application.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The SETUP.INF file can be modified to install a customized version of Windows on
multiple machines. It is possible to change the default Program Manager groups,
create other groups, and add applications to these new groups.
The [group#] section of the SETUP.INF (where # is the number of the group) is
used to list applications that belong in a group. There are entries for
description, FILENAME.EXE, icon filename, icon n, and profile, but no entry for
working directory.
The following is an example of the SETUP.INF [group#] section:
[group4]
"Write", WRITE.EXE
"Paintbrush", PBRUSH.EXE,,, pbrush
"Terminal", TERMINAL.EXE,,, terminal
"Notepad", NOTEPAD.EXE,,, notepad
"Recorder", RECORDER.EXE,,, recorder
"Cardfile", CARDFILE.EXE,,, cardfile
"Calendar", CALENDAR.EXE,,, calendar
"Calculator", CALC.EXE,,, calc
"Clock", CLOCK.EXE,,, clock
"Object Packager", PACKAGER.EXE,,, packager
"Character Map", CHARMAP.EXE,,, charmap
"Media Player", MPLAYER.EXE,,, mplayer
"Sound Recorder", SOUNDREC.EXE,,, soundrec
