This article was previously published under Q105067 SYMPTOMS
When you run Microsoft Undelete (UNDELETE.EXE) in an MS-DOS session under
Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, the MS-DOS Prompt
display changes from "windowed" to full screen.
Also, when Undelete is running, you cannot press ALT+TAB, CTRL+ESC, or
ALT+ENTER to switch tasks.
CAUSE
Undelete goes into exclusive mode to prevent other applications from
changing the directory while Undelete has control. Without this precaution,
it is possible that another program could create or delete a file in the
current directory. Undelete could then be reading an invalid directory
structure.
