WINMATIC.SHH File Is Created by SETUP /H (85190)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q85190

SUMMARY

When using Microsoft Windows SETUP /H with a SETUP.SHH file (or *.SHH file), a file called WINMATIC.SHH is created in the user's directory. This file is a copy of the SETUP.SHH file that was used during the installation.

To confirm what options were used to set up Windows, you can examine the entries in this file. This file is not necessary for Windows to run, so it can be deleted.

MORE INFORMATION

The Windows Automated Setup option (also called Batch Mode Setup), allows you to write a script file for Setup (an example called SETUP.SHH comes with Windows 3.1), which automates the Setup and requires little user input. You can configure Setup to automatically install certain printers, applications, hardware options, and other options. The following is an example of the command line: 
   SETUP /H X:\NETWIN\SETUP.SHH /N
Note: SETUP.SHH is an example; you can use any acceptable filename with an extension of .SHH.

For more information on this feature, refer to pages 75-82 of the "Microsoft Windows Resource Kit" guide for operating system version 3.1.
