This article was previously published under Q91108



SYMPTOMS
Windows for Workgroups Setup and Control Panel make backup copies of PROTOCOL.INI whenever changes are made. These backup files are named PROTOCOL, with incremental numeric file extensions that are added as each new backup is created. However, if the Windows for Workgroups directory name has a file extension, the PROTOCOL.INI backup file is named after the Windows directory and located one level higher in the directory structure. For example, if the Windows for Workgroups directory was named C:\WINDOWS.WFW, the PROTOCOL.INI backup would be named WINDOWS.000 and stored in the root of drive C.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups version 3.1. This problem does not occur in later versions of the product.
