INI File Sizes Become 0 Bytes After Starting WinLogin (88099)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
- Microsoft WinLogin
This article was previously published under Q88099 SUMMARY
In WinLogin 1.0, if the fallbackdir= entry in the [WINLOGIN] section of the
WINLOGIN.INI file is incorrectly set to the Windows directory, .INI files
in the WINDOWS directory may become 0 bytes in size.
The fallbackdir= entry should be set to the Windows \FALLBACK subdirectory.
MORE INFORMATION
If problems occur when running the WinLogin Client software and the .INI
files in the WINDOWS directory have become 0 bytes, the fallbackdir= line
in the [WINLOGIN] section of the WINLOGIN.INI may be set incorrectly. It
should NOT be set to the local WINDOWS directory. Instead, it should be set
to WINDOWS\FALLBACK or any other directory that did not already contain the
.INI files listed in the WLMERGE.INI file.
Edit WINLOGIN.INI and set fallbackdir= correctly,then replace the lost
.INI files with backup copies, provided they are available.
This information applies to version 1.0 of Microsoft WinLogin. For
