SUMMARY
When modifying the [group#] section of the SETUP.INF file in Windows version 3.1, it is not possible to modify the working directory property for an application.

MORE INFORMATION
The SETUP.INF file can be modified to install a customized version of Windows on multiple machines. It is possible to change the default Program Manager groups, create other groups, and add applications to these new groups.

The [group#] section of the SETUP.INF (where # is the number of the group) is used to list applications that belong in a group. There are entries for description, FILENAME.EXE, icon filename, icon n, and profile, but no entry for working directory.

The following is an example of the SETUP.INF [group#] section:
