== SYMPTOMS ==<br />
<br />
When you create a CD-ROM containing the uncompressed setup files for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (or for a service pack) in the I386 folder, and you view that folder from Microsoft Windows NT Explorer, you may see only the font files. The other files in the folder may not appear.<br />
<br />
</div><br />
<div class="cause_section"><br />
<br />
== CAUSE ==<br />
<br />
This behavior can occur because the Desktop.ini file is not compressed.<br />
<br />
</div><br />
<div class="resolution_section"><br />
<br />
== RESOLUTION ==<br />
<br />
To resolve this behavior, compress the Desktop.ini file and rename it to Desktop.in_ before you create the CD-ROM.<br />
<br />
</div><br />
<div class="moreinformation_section"><br />
<br />
== MORE INFORMATION ==<br />
<br />
The Desktop.ini file that is in the I386 folder contains a link to a registry key that designates it as a Fonts folder. The file contains the following string:<br />
<pre class="codesample">[.ShellClassInfo]<br />
UICLSID={BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}<br />
</pre><br />
If the folder has the read-only or system attribute, Windows NT Explorer reads the Desktop.ini file and links the Uiclsid back to the registry key. The registry identifies the folder as the Fonts folder, and Windows NT Explorer therefore displays only the fonts contained in it, and not the rest of the files.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
This issue does not occur with the installation media because, on the CD-ROM for Windows NT 4.0 or for a service pack, the Desktop.ini file is compressed and has an 'underscore' extension (Desktop.in_).<br />
