Imported Windows Group Files Retain Old Descriptions (79516)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q79516 SYMPTOMS
When you import previously created program groups into Program Manager, the
changes you made to the descriptions of these groups while importing them
are ignored by Windows 3.0.
WORKAROUND
You can change the description after importing the program group in Windows
3.0. Use the following steps to import existing program groups:
- From Program Manager's File menu, choose New.
- Select Program Group.
- Enter the group file's path and filename in the Group File
text box.
NOTE: Any changes you make to the Description text box at this point are
ignored and the imported program group displays the description that it
had before it was imported.
- Choose OK.
After importing the group file, you can change its description as
you normally would:
- Minimize the program group if necessary.
- Select the group icon.
- From the Program Manager File menu, choose Properties.
- Enter the new description in the Description text box.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.0. This
problem was corrected and does not occur in later versions.
