Start Menu Shortcut Removed When DriveSpace 3 Is Removed
This article was previously published under Q138369
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:
- Use the right mouse button to click an empty spot on the taskbar, and
then click Properties on the menu that appears.
- On the Start Menu Programs tab, click Add.
- In the Command Line box, type c:\windows\drvspace.exe
, and then click Next.
- In the "Select folder to place shortcut in" box, click the System
Tools folder, and then click Next.
- 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.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Plus! 95 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows 95
