SFM File Type and Creator Properties Invalid (159205)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q159205 SYMPTOMS
The extension to type/creator mapping is nonfunctional.
For example:
Create a file called test.doc on a FAT partition and copy it to an NTFS
directory shared as a Macintosh volume. Instead of putting the type/creator
for the file, it leaves the type creator as TEXT/LMAN. When viewing it from
an Apple Macintosh, it doesn't appear as the correct type of file and
cannot be double-clicked on to open with the appropriate application. All
extension mapping is invalid for any extension type.
RESOLUTION
Install the updated files.
