SFM: MacFile Menu Not Displayed if NTAS Drive Letter Changes (103473)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q103473 SYMPTOMS
If the drive letter of the logical drive where Windows NT Advanced
Server is installed changes, the MacFile menu in File Manager and
Server Manager may not appear.
CAUSE
Windows NT Advanced Server Services for Macintosh records fully
qualified filenames (including paths) to the registry to enable File
Manager and Server Manager to provide MacFile menus. If you change the
drive letter of the drive where Windows NT Advanced Server is
installed, Windows File Manager and Server Manager will not find the
Services for Macintosh AddOns and will not display the MacFile menus.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, use the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE) and
change the following keys to the correct path and filename:
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious,
system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to
correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting
from the use Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own
risk.
