Contents of the Microsoft Plus! Startup Disk

When you compress a volume with DriveSpace 3, you are prompted to update the Startup disk. If you reinstall Microsoft Plus! after you compress a volume with DriveSpace 3, or if you do not compress a volume with DriveSpace 3, you are not prompted to update the Startup disk.
