-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 installs a Network group in the Program
Manager. The icons included in this group depend on the network installation you
chose during Setup.

Windows for Workgroups 3.11 allows you to rebuild the default program groups
(Accessories, Games, Main, Startup, and Network). To rebuild the defaults,
follow these steps:

1. From the File menu, choose Run.

2. On the Command Line, type "WINSETUP /P" (without the quotation marks).

3. Choose the OK button.

The contents of the new Network group depends on the network installation chosen
during the initial Setup.

NOTE: Previous versions of Microsoft Windows use SETUP /P to rebuild the default
groups.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Setup has several different options. You can install
Windows for Workgroups for no network functionality, for the Windows for
Workgroups network, for a primary network other than the Windows for Workgroups
network, or for the Windows for Workgroups network and a secondary network. The
icons available in the Network group are dependent on the installation choice
you make. The icons re-created by the WINSETUP /P command are also dependent on
your installation choice.

Example 1
---------

If you install Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with the No Windows Support For
Networks option, a Network group containing the following icons is generated:

  Network Setup, Mail, Schedule+, and Remote Access.

WINSETUP /P re-creates the Network group as listed above.

Example 2
---------

If you install Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with the No Windows Support For
Networks option and choose not to install Mail and Schedule+, a Network group
containing the following icons is generated:

  Network Setup, Mail, and Remote Access.

NOTE: Mail is installed for Microsoft At Work PC Fax support. The only way to not
install Mail is to NOT install At Work PC Fax.

WINSETUP /P re-creates the Network group as mentioned above and adds a Schedule+
icon with a plain design. (The plain icon is generated because SCHDPLUS.EXE is
not on your computer. If you choose not to install At Work PC Fax and Mail, a
plain Mail icon is also generated.)

Example 3
---------

If you install Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with the Microsoft Windows Network
(Version 3.11) option, with or without an additional network, a Network group
containing the following icons is generated:

  Network Setup, Mail, Schedule+, Remote Access, Log On/Off, Net Watcher,
  WinPopUp, WinMeter, and Chat.

  Network Setup, Mail, Schedule+, and Remote Access.

Example 4
---------

If you install Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with the Microsoft Windows Network
(Version 3.11) option, with or without an additional network, and choose not to
install Mail and Schedule+, a Network group containing the following icons is
generated:

  Network Setup, Mail, Remote Access, Log On/Off, Net Watcher, WinPopUp,
  WinMeter, and Chat.

(Mail is installed for Microsoft At Work PC Fax support).

WINSETUP /P re-creates the Network group with the following icons:

  Network Setup, Mail, Schedule+, and Remote Access.
