OFF95: Cannot Delete Files in the Open Dialog Box in Windows NT (145872)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office for Windows 95
- Microsoft Excel for Windows 95
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 3.51
This article was previously published under Q145872 SYMPTOMS
If you are using one of the products listed above with Microsoft Windows NT
version 3.51, you will not be able to delete documents from within either
the Open or Save dialog boxes. Also, the Help file entry erroneously
states that you can delete documents in this manner.
CAUSE
You do not have any menu options or buttons for deleting files in either
dialog box because these features were designed for running under the
Microsoft Windows 95 operating system and are not features of
Microsoft Windows NT.
RESOLUTION
If you want to delete files under the Windows NT operating system, use File
Manager.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
