The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS
A PIF file's size and modification time may be different after you use the file.

CAUSE
Windows 95 saves a program's PIF file settings each time the program terminates.

RESOLUTION
To prevent Windows 95 from modifying a PIF file, set the file's Read-Only attribute. To do so, follow these steps:


 * 1) In Windows Explorer or My Computer, use the right mouse button to click the PIF file, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
 * 2) Click the Read-Only check box to select it.
 * 3) Click OK.
