The ODIHLP.EXE is a Workgroup driver that allows the Novell network protocol stack to communicate with a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 protocol stack. With ODIHLP.EXE loaded, a user can connect to either a Workgroup or Novell server. ODIHLP.EXE is loaded in the AUTOEXEC.BAT File.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works versions 2.0 and 2.0a for Windows. This problem was corrected in Works version 3.0.
