Undelete May Not Correctly Update AUTOEXEC.BAT & UNDELETE.INI (105182)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
  • Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.21
  • Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q105182

SYMPTOMS

When you select the Delete Sentry level of protection in Microsoft Undelete for Windows, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file may not be correctly updated.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the UNDELETE.INI file indicates that Delete Sentry is already enabled.

Also, if you select the Standard level, Microsoft Undelete for Windows does not remove the UNDELETE /LOAD command from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, manually edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with a text editor such as MS-DOS Editor and either add or remove the UNDELETE /LOAD or UNDELETE /S commands.
