SYMPTOMS

If the optional Windows-based versions of Microsoft Backup, Microsoft Undelete,

RESOLUTION
==========

There are two ways to work around this problem:

  Backup and Anti-Virus. This creates a new Undelete icon.

-or-

- Manually create the Undelete icon as follows:

  1. In Windows, double-click the Microsoft Tools group.

  2. In Program Manager, choose New from the File menu.

  3. Select Program Item, and choose OK.

  4. In the Description box, type "Undelete" (without the quotation marks).

  5. In the Command Line box, type "C:\DOS\MWUNDEL.EXE" (without the quotation
     marks) where "C:\DOS" is the directory containing your MS-DOS files.

     NOTE: Do not use the file UNDELETE.EXE, which is for the MS-DOS level
     Undelete utility.

  6. In the Working Directory box, type the location of the Windows directory,
     for example "C:\WINDOWS" (without the quotation marks), then choose OK.
