This article was previously published under Q104890 SYMPTOMS
MS-DOS Setup may create a second Microsoft Tools groups in Microsoft
Windows.
CAUSE
This situation occurs when the Microsoft Tools group location or filename
changes. For example, the default name and typical MS-DOS directory lead to
the following filename and path:
C:\DOS\WNTOOLS.GRP
If you change the filename or directory location after you install MS-DOS
6.0, two Microsoft Tools groups exist after you install a later version of
MS-DOS.
To prevent Setup from destroying your customized group entries, the
setup logic is cautious when replacing groups. If your WNTOOLS.GRP file is
still in the DOS directory, MS-DOS 6.2 replaces the old WNTOOLS.GRP file
with a new one.
RESOLUTION
To work around this situation, delete one of the groups.
