SUMMARY
=======

When you install Microsoft Windows 3.0 or Windows 3.1 from an Administrative,
Shared directory on a local area network (LAN) using the Setup /N command, the
Setup program prompts you for a drive and path. This creates a user directory on
the specified drive with all the needed files.

(10/31/90), and Windows 3.1 (3/10/92) network user directory, created by
