Start Menu Shortcut Removed When DriveSpace 3 Is Removed

 * }

Q138369

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95
 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
If you remove the DriveSpace 3 component of Microsoft Plus!, the DriveSpace shortcut may no longer appear on the Start menu. If you installed the Windows 95 DriveSpace components before you installed Microsoft Plus!, the Windows 95 DriveSpace components remain on the hard disk, but the shortcut may no longer appear.

If you did not install the Windows 95 DriveSpace components before you installed DriveSpace 3, the DriveSpace check box no longer appears on the Windows Setup tab in the Add/Remove Programs tool after you remove DriveSpace 3, preventing you from installing the DriveSpace components.

RESOLUTION
Create a new Start menu shortcut for DriveSpace. To do so, follow these steps:


 * 1) Use the right mouse button to click an empty spot on the taskbar, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
 * 2) On the Start Menu Programs tab, click Add.
 * 3) In the Command Line box, type c:\windows\drvspace.exe, and then click Next.
 * 4) In the "Select folder to place shortcut in" box, click the System Tools folder, and then click Next.
 * 5) In the "Select a name for the shortcut" box, type DriveSpace, and then click Finish.

NOTE: If you did not install the Windows 95 DriveSpace components before you installed DriveSpace 3 and you cannot install DriveSpace because the DriveSpace check box is missing, you must reinstall Windows 95 to install DriveSpace.
