About the Initialization Files
The Windows for Workgroups 3.11 initialization files contain
information that defines the Windows for Workgroups 3.11
environment. Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and
Windows-based applications use the information in these files
to configure themselves according to each user's needs and
preferences.
The Windows for Workgroups 3.11 initialization files that are
either new or contain new or updated settings are SYSTEM.INI,
MSMAIL.INI, and EFAXPUMP.INI files. For information on other
settings in initialization (.INI) files provided with Windows
for Workgroups 3.11, see Chapter 6, _The Windows for
Workgroups Initialization Files,_ in the Windows for
Workgroups Resource Kit, version 3.1.

.INI file File contents
SYSTEM.INI Contains entries for configuring Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 to meet system specific hardware
needs.
MSMAIL.INI Contains entries that define the appearance and
behavior of Mail.
EFAXPUMP.INI Contains entries that enable sharing of custom
Mail commands and custom messages with other
members of a workgroup.
Important Errors made by editing initialization files can
lead to undesirable results when you run Windows for
Workgroups 3.11. Before changing any entry, make a backup
copy of the file. Read _Changing Entries in .INI Files_ later
in this chapter for guidelines.
Format of the .INI Files
The Windows for Workgroups 3.11 setup initialization files
are text files that contain one or more sections. The format
for each section is:
[section]
keyname= value ; comment
Value Definition
[section] The name (header) of a section. The enclosing
brackets ([ ]) are required, and the left bracket
must be in the leftmost column of the file.
SDKs: Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Addendum Page 2 Microsoft Development Library Chapter 4 - Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Initialization Files
(c) 1992, 1993 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
keyname The name of an entry, which can consist of any
combination of letters and digits. For many entries,
the keyname
sign.
value The value of each entry, which can be an integer, a
string, or a quoted string, depending on the entry. must be followed immediately by an equal
; Some entries include brief comments below the header
comment or on the same line as an entry. You can include
comments anywhere in an .INI file by prefacing the
comment with a semicolon (;).
In this chapter, the sections that appear in bold contain the
actual words that are used in the INI file. For example:
[windows] section. When a section is referenced generically,
the section name is shown in italics, in bold brackets. For
example, PROTOCOL.INI contains the [netcard_protocol] section
that actually includes separate sections for each network
adapter card name, such as [MS$EE16] for the Intel
EtherExpress 16 or 16TP adapter card.
Some variable entries must be substituted for specific values
in the entry. These entries are shown in italics in this
format:
keyname= profile, description, filesize
Case (capital or lowercase letters) does not matter for
values, unless specified for a particular item. Some items
must be enclosed in double quotation marks (_ _). For
example: caption= _Windows Setup_.
The actual words of an entry are shown in bold, such as
_Beep= Yes | No_. The values that can be substituted in the
entry are shown in italics. When the value can be one of
several choices, the choices are separated with a pipe
character ( | ). For example:
Beep= Yes | No
For many entries, the value is shown as Boolean. To enable an
entry that requires a Boolean value, you can enter True, Yes,
On, or 1. To disable such an entry, you can enter False, No,
Off, or 0. These entries are not case sensitive.
Any entry listed here but which does not appear in your .INI
file is automatically assigned the default value shown in
this chapter.
Changing Entries in .INI Files
Windows for Workgroups creates the initialization files
during installation and assigns default values. Some entries
are added or changed when you install or configure a Windows
SDKs: Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Addendum Page 3 Microsoft Development Library Chapter 4 - Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Initialization Files
(c) 1992, 1993 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
application. You can edit these entries to change the
appearance or performance of Windows for Workgroups.
You can use the following options to change the entries in an
.INI file:
n
Schedule+ to change entries with the menu commands and
dialog box options.
n Run Windows Setup again to change system settings, the
keyboard or mouse configuration, or network options, and to Use Control Panel, Program Manager, File Manager, Mail or
add or remove printers and fonts.
n Choose a command such as Printer Setup from the File menu
in Print Manager and specify new options.
n Use a text editor such as Notepad to edit the file directly.
Many of the entries in this section list the most appropriate
method for changing the entry.
Important Always create a backup copy of the .INI file
before you open it, and use care when making changes.
Incorrect changes can lead to unexpected results when you run
Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Edit the entries for .INI files
only when necessary. Do not use a formatting editor, such as
a word processor in document mode. Some editors can damage
characters with ANSI values of greater than 127. We recommend
that you use the Control Panel or Setup interface when
possible to make changes. If you must hand-edit the file, use
a text editor such as Notepad, System Editor, or Edit
(provided with versions 5.0 and higher of MS-DOS).
To change .INI file entries with a text editor
1.Important: Create and save a backup copy of the .INI file.
2.Open the .INI file with a text editor such as Notepad.
3.Edit the specific entries and save the file in ASCII (text
only) format.
4.Restart Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and the changes made to
the .INI file will take effect.

Editing .INI Source Files
If you copy the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 files to a
network server using the setup /a option (to install a shared
copy of Windows for Workgroups 3.11), Setup uses WIN.SRC,
SYSTEM.SRC, and CONTROL.SRC to build WIN.INI, SYSTEM. INI,
and CONTROL.INI. To create custom initialization files for
multiple installations, you can modify the .SRC files.
To edit the .SRC files, first save a backup copy of the
original file, then make editing changes in the file,
following the guidelines in this chapter. Save the file with
an .SRC filename extension in the WINDOWS directory on the
network server. Test the new .SRC file on a single system
before installing Windows for Workgroups 3.11 on multiple
systems by verifying the appropriate operations with the
created INI file.
SYSTEM.INI: System Initialization File
When you install Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Setup creates
the SYSTEM.INI file. SYSTEM.INI contains global system
information that Windows for Workgroups 3.11 uses when it
starts, and contains settings that you can customize to meet
your system's hardware needs.
The SYSTEM.INI sections discussed in this chapter appear here
in alphabetical order for easy reference, the sections may
SDKs: Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Addendum Page 14Microsoft Development Library Chapter 4 - Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Initialization Files
(c) 1992, 1993 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
not appear in this sequence in the initialization file. The
SYSTEM.INI file can contain the following sections:
Section Purpose
[386Enh] Contains information used by Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 in 386 enhanced mode.
[network] Contains information for defining the Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 network configuration.
[network Contains information for defining the Windows for
drivers] Workgroups 3.11 real-mode network configuration.
[NWNBLink] Contains information used by the 32-bit NetBIOS
driver for IPX.
[vcache] Contains information for defining the Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 cache management settings.
Many of the other entries described in this chapter are
rarely needed and do not appear in the SYSTEM.INI file unless
they are add manually. Most of these entries have a default
value that is present whether or not the entry appears in
SYSTEM.INI. You might need to change one or more of these
values to improve the performance of Windows for Workgroups
3.11 or a specific application.
The possible methods for changing values are noted for each
entry in this chapter. Most of the SYSTEM.INI entries cannot
be changed through the Control Panel interface. You can
change many of the settings by running the Setup program from
the Main program group. Other values in SYSTEM.INI can be
changed only by opening the file and editing it manually with
a text editor such as Notepad.
The changes you make to the SYSTEM.INI file do not take
effect until you restart Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Refer
to _Editing .INI Source Files_ earlier in this chapter.
[386Enh]
The [386Enh] section contains information specific to running
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 in 386 enhanced mode, including
information used for virtual memory page swapping.
For entries in this section that specify virtual devices, the
value can appear in two ways_either as the filename of a
specific virtual device driver (with path if necessary), or
as an asterisk (*) followed immediately by the device name to
refer to a virtual device built into the WIN386.EXE file.

This section can contain the following entries:
DisableVFATWarning= on | off
to be displayed or not. For example, one of the warning
screens provides instructions to the user on how to tell Specifies whether the 32-bit File System warning screens are
Windows for Workgroups to install the 32-bit File System
support drivers to allow 32-bit disk caching on a compressed
disk volume. Set DisableVFATWarning= to on to prevent the
warning screen from being displayed. The default is off (the
warning screen is displayed).
EnableSharingPopUps= Boolean
Specifies whether a SHARE.EXE sharing violation message is to
appear when a sharing violation occurs while using the
VSHARE.386 device. If the value for this setting is True, the
SHARE.EXE messages appear. Set this value to True if you are
using an MS-DOS-based application that relies on the
sharing-violation message. If the value for this setting is
False, the SHARE.EXE message does not appear and will not be
notified if a sharing violation occurs. The default is False.
Netcard= drivername [, ... ]
Specifies a comma separated list of NDIS 3.0 network adapter
card drivers that Windows for Workgroups 3.11 conditionally
loads on startup. If NDIS 2.0 network protocols are loaded on
startup, the entries on the Netcard= line are ignored.
Netcard3= drivername [, ... ]
Specifies a comma separated list of NDIS 3.0 network adapter
card drivers that Windows for Workgroups 3.11 loads on
startup. These NDIS 3.0 network adapter card drivers are
always loaded.

Specifies a comma separated list of miscellaneous network
Virtual device drivers that Windows for Workgroups 3.11 will
load. Typically, the drivers include the mappers and other
network support layers, such as NDIS.386, NDIS2SUP.386,
MSODISUP.386, and NWSUP.386.
Network= filename | device name
Specifies the core virtual network drivers that are used when
Windows for Workgroups is in 386 enhanced mode. The default
is *vnetbios, *vwc, vnetsup.386, vredir.386, vserver.386.
This entry is a synonym for Device=. Setup assigns an
appropriate value based on your system configuration.
SecondNet= filename
Specifies the virtual network drivers for the additional
network you have configured on your workstation. The
secondnet= entry is synonymous with device=. The default is
none (blank). Setup sets this value to match your
configuration. (For example, if NetWare is selected as the

(c) 1992, 1993 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
additional network, the secondnet=
secondnet=vnetware.386 entry will be defined as .)
Transport= filename [, ... ]
Specifies a comma separated list of NDIS 3.0 protected-mode
network protocol drivers that Windows for Workgroups 3.11
uses. The transport= entry is synonymous with device=. Setup
sets this value to match your configuration when NDIS 3.0
network protocols are installed.
V86ModeLANAs= LANA number, LANA number
Limits the real-mode NetBIOS LANA numbers that will be
supported while Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is running to
only those LANA numbers listed. This setting is for real-mode
NetBIOS drivers only. This setting should not include any
LANA numbers for protected-mode protocols or NetBIOS drivers.
This setting is useful with NetBIOS protocols which
incorrectly identify themselves as being active on LANA
numbers others than those assigned to them, for example, the
NetWare NETBIOS.EXE TSR. Make sure that the values for this
setting do not include LANA numbers assigned to
protected-mode protocols such as VNB.386. The default is none
(blank). The LANAs for protocols are specified in
PROTOCOL.INI. To change this entry, you must edit SYSTEM.INI.
OverlappedIO= Boolean
This entry is added if Novell NetWare support installed with
Windows for Workgroups 3.11. If On, several virtual machines
can make read and write requests to a disk before the first
request has been completed. If this entry is Off, virtual
machines cannot issue a request to read or write to a disk
until any previous read and write requests have been
completed. The default is Off if InDOSPolling= on. Otherwise,
the default is On. To change this entry, you must edit
SYSTEM.INI. (You should not need to change this entry_Setup
adds this entry if NetWare is configured as an additional
network.)
[net.cfg]
This section contains entries used by the Windows Setup
program when configuring Windows for Workgroups 3.11 to use
Novell NetWare support.
The [net.cfg] section can contain the following entry:
path= path name
Specifies the path to the NetWare NET.CFG file containing the
ODI driver configuration information. When Novell NetWare
support is configured for use with Windows for Workgroups,
the user is prompted by the Windows Setup program to identify
the location of the Novell NET.CFG file. The value the user
specifies during Setup is stored in this entry.

to the log. To change this setting, select the Event Log
button in the Network section of Control Panel.
AutoLogon= Boolean
Specifies whether you are automatically logged on when you
start Windows for Workgroups 3.11. If you are using a logon
password, the Windows for Workgroups Logon dialog box appears
and asks you to enter your logon password. To log on, you
must supply your password. If you have a blank logon
password, you will be logged on and no prompt appears. If set
to No, you are not automatically logged on at startup. The
default is Yes. To make changes to this entry, run the
Network tool in Control Panel and select the Log On at
Startup check box in the Startup Settings dialog box.
AutoStart= Full | Basic | Popup | Netbind | Netbeui | Workstation [, ...
Specifies the additional real-mode components that are loaded
when the net start command is issued from the command prompt
or in AUTOEXEC.BAT. The Full value is used to load full
redirector support (unless otherwise specified, Full is the
default value for the redirector support). The Basic value is
used to load basic redirector support. The Popup value is
used to load the popup interface. The Netbind value is used
to bind protocols and network adapter drivers. The Netbeui

value is used to load the default redirector. If you want to
specify more than one real-mode component, separate each
value by a comma. By default, the net start
perform only the net bind functionality. To change this command will
entry, you must edit SYSTEM.INI.
CacheThisPassword= Boolean
Determines whether the Save This Password In Your Password
List check box in the Enter Password or LAN Manager Log On
dialog box is selected by default the next time the dialog
box is displayed. If this entry is Yes, the check box is
selected. If this entry is No, the check box is not selected.
When you select or clear the check box, this value is changed
in the SYSTEM.INI file. The default is No, or the last value
specified by the user.
comment= string
Provides a description of your computer (maximum of 48
characters) that appears to other users when they are
browsing the workgroup_the string value specified for this
entry cannot contain commas. This description appears next to
your computer name in the Connect Network Drive, Connect
Network Printer, and Select Computer dialog boxes. The
default is none (blank).
ComputerName= name
Specifies the name of your computer on the network. Your
computer name must be unique, can be a maximum of 15
characters long, and can contain letters, numbers, and any of
the following characters (the computer name should not
contain a space character, an underscore character should be
used instead):
! # $ % & ( ) - . @ ^ _ ' { } ~
Your computer name appears in the Connect Network Drive,
Connect Network Printers, and Select Computer dialog boxes
when browsing through workgroups for computers, directories
or printers. The default is the name you specified for your
computer during setup.
DeferBrowsing= Boolean
Specifies whether browsing of network resources occurs
automatically when the Connect Network Drive or Connect
Network Printer dialog box is displayed. If the value of this
field is set to Yes, then browsing is deferred and will not
automatically occur when the dialog box is displayed. If the
value of this field is No, then when the dialog box is
displayed, the network is browsed for the names of other
workgroups that exist and the names of computers defined in
your workgroup. The value for this setting is set based on
the state of the Always Browse check box in the Connect
Network Drive or Connect Network Printer dialog box.
DirectHosting= on | off
SDKs: Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Addendum Page 19Microsoft Development Library Chapter 4 - Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Initialization Files
(c) 1992, 1993 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Specifies whether direct hosting on top of IPX is to be
supported. By default, the value for this field is set to ,
which means that the Windows for Workgroups networking on
components will first try to talk to other computers using
direct hosting, and then will try hosting over NetBIOS if
unsuccessful. Configurations that use the NWSUP.386 driver
(for example, monolithic IPX, or ARCNet configurations over
IPX) require the value for this setting to be set to .
EnableSharing= Boolean
Defines the state of resource sharing depending on the values
for FileSharing= and PrinterSharing= entries. If one or more
of the sharing entries is enabled, the value for this entry off
is Yes. If both file sharing and printer sharing are
disabled, the value for this entry is No. This entry is set
by the Network Settings dialog box in Windows Setup.
Exclude= LANA number [, ... ]
Indicates that Windows for Workgroups 3.11 should not use the
protocols represented by the LANA numbers assigned to this
setting. This setting takes precedence over the LANAs= or
V86ModeLANAs= entries, so that a LANA number listed on this
line will never be used even if it is also listed in those
entries. This setting should be used when a NetBIOS protocol
is present but cannot be used by the Windows for Workgroups
3.11 network components; for example, the NetWare NETBIOS.EXE
TSR. The default is none (blank). To change this entry, you
must edit SYSTEM.INI.
FileSharing= Boolean
Specifies whether file sharing is enabled on your computer as
selected from the Windows Network Setup dialog box. If the
value of this setting is set to Yes, then file sharing is
enabled. If the value of this setting is set to No, then file
sharing is disabled. If both FileSharing= and PrinterSharing=
are set to No, the Windows for Workgroups Server Virtual
device driver (VSERVER.386) will not be loaded into memory.
To change this setting, select the Sharing... button from the
Windows Network Setup dialog box.
KeepConn= seconds
Specifies the number of seconds Windows for Workgroups 3.11
is to wait before disconnecting an implicit connection that
is no longer being used. This is useful if you are performing
several directory searches or lists using an implicit
connection, or several tasks that involve pipes. If the
applications that you are using to perform these tasks run
slowly, then increase this value. The default is 600. (You
should not need to change this setting.)
LANAs= LANA number [, ... ]
Limits the automatic detection of protocols to the specified
list of LANA numbers if you start the network before starting
Windows for Workgroups 3.11, and specifies that Windows for
SDKs: Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Addendum Page 20Microsoft Development Library Chapter 4 - Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Initialization Files
(c) 1992, 1993 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Workgroups 3.11 is to use only those protocols present that
are assigned LANA numbers included in this setting. This
setting is useful with NetBIOS protocols which incorrectly
identify themselves as being active on LANA numbers others
NETBIOS.EXE TSR. The default is none (blank). To change this
entry, you must edit SYSTEM.INI.
Boolean than those assigned to them, for example, the NetWare LMAnnounce=
If this entry is Yes, your computer announces its presence to
LAN Manager computers in your workgroup. If computers in your
workgroup that are running LAN Manager need to see your
computer when they browse the network, set this value to Yes.
The default is No, which tells the Windows for Workgroups
3.11 server not to broadcast its presence to LAN Manager
clients, and minimizes the level of network traffic. To
change this entry, you must edit SYSTEM.INI.
LMLogon= 0 | 1
Specifies whether the LAN Manager Logon dialog box is shown
to permit you to log on to a LAN Manager domain when you
start Windows for Workgroups 3.11. If this entry is 1, and
you have stored the domain password in your password list,
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 logs you on to a LAN Manager
domain and runs your logon script, if you have one. If the
domain password is not in your password-list, the LAN Manager
Logon dialog box appears so that you can pick the domain you
want to log on to and specify the password for that domain.
The default value is 0, indicating that you will not log onto
a domain. To change this entry, change the state of the Log
On to LAN Manager Domain check box in the LAN Manager
Settings dialog box.
LoadHigh= Boolean
Specifies whether real-mode network drivers load into the
upper memory area (UMA) or into conventional memory. Some
network drivers contain code to load themselves into the UMA
area automatically, this setting overrides the default load
method of each real-mode driver. If this entry is Yes,
real-mode drivers will be loaded into the UMA if space is
available. If this entry is No, the real-mode drivers will be
loaded into conventional memory. The default is Yes. To
change this setting, you must edit SYSTEM.INI.
LoadNetDDE= Boolean
Specifies whether the Network DDE application (NETDDE.EXE) is
to be loaded on startup. The Network DDE application is
necessary to support Network DDE conversations as used by
applications like Chat, Hearts, and ClipBook. Network DDE
requires that a protocol be loaded that provides NetBIOS
services. If this entry is No, the NETDDE.EXE application
will not be loaded. The default is Yes. To change this
setting, select the Startup icon from the Network section of
Control Panel and select the Enable Network DDE check box.

LogonDisconnected= Boolean
Specifies whether the network redirect just initializes the
data structures for persistent network connections such as
network drive and printers (ghosted connections) or
physically attaches to the network resource. If this entry is
Yes, connections are _ghosted_ and the network connection
data structures are initialized, but the physical connection
to the network resource is not made until the resource is
actually accessed _ this results in a lower startup time. If
this entry is No, the default, then when persistent network
connections are restored, the network connection is made to
the network resource. To change this setting, enable the
Ghosted Connections check box from the Startup icon in the
Network section of Control Panel.
LogonDomain= domain name
Specifies the name of the default LAN Manager domain
(workgroup) that validates your password, if you choose to
logon to a LAN Manager domain when you start Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 (as specified by the LMLogon= entry). The
default is the designated workgroup for your computer.
LogonValidated= Boolean
Indicates whether your logon was validated by a LAN Manager
server when you last logged on. If you decide to change the
LMLogon= value while you are still logged on by selecting or
clearing the Log On To LAN Manager Domain check box in
Control Panel, the LogonValidated= entry ensures that you are
logged off properly when you end your Windows for Workgroups
3.11 session, or if you choose to log off using Control
Panel. The default is No. (You should not need to change this
setting.)
MaintainServerList= Yes | No | Auto
Specifies whether your computer will maintain the list of
computers in your workgroup and the names of workgroups
defined on your network. If this entry is Yes, your computer
will be used to maintain the list of computers in your
workgroup and workgroups on your network, and increases the
likelihood that your computer will become the _master_
computer in your workgroup which maintains these lists. If
this entry is No, your computer is never used to maintain
these lists_use this setting if your computer has very little
free memory, is connected to the rest of your workgroup only
by a slow link (such as a telephone-line connection), or
other special conditions apply which would cause performance
problems. If this entry is Auto, your computer will maintain
these lists when Windows for Workgroups 3.11 determines that
it is necessary. The default is Auto. (You should not need to
change this value.) To change this entry, you must edit
SYSTEM.INI. At least one computer in your workgroup must have
a value of either Auto (the default) or Yes for this entry in
order to ensure that the list of workgroups and computers on

your network is available.
Multinet= network name [, ... ]
Specifies the name of one or more active secondary networks
that you have added support for in Windows for Workgroups
3.11. The default is none (blank). You can change this entry
in the Network Settings dialog box from Windows Setup.
NumBigBuf= number
Specifies the number of buffers used by the protected-mode
redirector VREDIR.386 to cache data read from the network.
Increasing this entry can improve the performance of network
operations, but reduces the amount of memory available for
applications. This entry is only used if the network is not
started from MS-DOS before starting Windows for Workgroups.
By default, the redirector uses one eighth of the available
physical memory free at the time when it is loaded, so the
number of cache buffers is that amount of memory divided by
the size of each buffer (which is 4096 bytes in size),
rounded down. This entry has a minimum of 2 and a maximum of
4096.
PrintBufTime= seconds
Specifies the number of seconds of idle printing time that
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is to wait before indicating that
the end of a print job has been reached when printing from an
MS-DOS-based application. When printing to a network printer
from an MS-DOS-based application, your documents do not start
printing until the application finishes processing the print
job. If you are using an MS-DOS-based application that
processes print jobs quickly and you want your documents to
print sooner, decrease this value. If you are using an
MS-DOS-based application that takes longer to process print
jobs or if your print job is broken into multiple documents,
increase this value. The time an MS-DOS-based application is
suspended is not counted. The default value is 45. To change
this entry, you must edit SYSTEM.INI.
PrinterSharing= Boolean
Specifies whether printer sharing is enabled on your computer
as selected from the Windows Network Setup dialog box. If the
value of this setting is set to Yes, then printer sharing is
enabled. If the value of this setting is set to No, then
printer sharing is disabled. If both PrinterSharing= and
FileSharing= are set to No, the Windows for Workgroups Server
virtual device driver (VSERVER.386) will not be loaded into
memory. To change this setting, select the Sharing... button
from the Windows Network Setup dialog box.
priority= number
Specifies the relative priority value for sharing resources
(VSERVER.386). The lower the number, the less time is given
to sharing resources. The higher the number, the more time is
given to sharing resources. The default priority is 80. To

make changes to this entry, choose the Network icon in
Control Panel and change the position of the Performance
Priority slider bar.
reconnect= Boolean
Defines the default state for the Reconnect At Startup check
box in the Connect Network Drive or Connect Network Printer
dialog box. The Reconnect At Startup check box is used to
determine whether the given network connection is
re-established when Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is
re-started. If this entry is Yes, the Reconnect At Startup
check box in the Connect Network Drive or Connect Network
Printer dialog box is selected the next time the dialog box
is displayed. If this entry is No, the check box is not
selected. When you select or clear the check box, the value
for this setting changes in the SYSTEM.INI file to reflect
its current state. The default is Yes.
reshare= Boolean
Defines the default state for the Reshare At Startup check
box in the Share Directory or Share Printer dialog box. The
Reshare At Startup check box determines whether the given
share is automatically re-shared at startup. If this entry is
Yes, the Reshare At Startup check box in the Share Directory
or Share Printer dialog box is selected the next time the
dialog box is displayed. If this entry is No, the check box
is not selected. When you select or clear the check box, this
value is changed in the SYSTEM.INI file to reflect its
current state. The default is Yes.
SlowLanas= LANA [, LANA ...]
Identifies the LANA numbers which are used for slow network
connections, for example the Remote Access Service (RAS). For
slow LANAs, raw I/O from the redirector is disabled to enable
packet sizes to be reduced to support sending across a low
speed network link - this prevents the network from timing
out when sending NetBIOS data across the slow link. The
SlowLanas= switch also prevents the local Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 computer from becoming a browse server for
the given LANA values across slow network connections.
StartMessaging= Boolean
Specifies whether the messaging service is started when
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is started and the WinPopup
application is loaded to send and receive messages and
alerts. When messaging is enabled (Yes), Print Manager will
send notifications of completed print jobs and WinPopup will
receive the sent messages. The default is No. To change this
setting, select the Startup icon from the Network section of
Control Panel and select the Enable WinPopup check box.
username= name
Specifies the default logon name (maximum of 20 characters)

value for this setting changes to the logon name you specify
when you log on to Windows for Workgroups 3.11 for the first
the first time. Then the default value becomes the logon name
you specify in the Welcome To Windows For Workgroups dialog time. The default is your computer name until you log on for
box.
WinNet= name
Specifies the name of the primary Windows network (WinNet)
driver. When Microsoft networking is enabled, the value for
this entry is wfwnet. The value for this setting is defined
by the networking option selected in the Windows Network
Setup dialog box.
WorkGroup= name
Specifies the workgroup (maximum of 15 characters) that your
computer belongs to. You can change this entry using the
Network icon in the Control Panel.
[network drivers]
This section contains entries that specify the real-mode NDIS
2.0 network drivers that load when Windows for Workgroups
3.11 is started. The entries in this section are created or
modified when you configure your network drivers from the
Network Settings dialog box in Windows Setup.
The [network drivers] section can contain the following
entries:
devdir= path name
Specifies the path name pointing to the location of the
network device driver files and the PROTOCOL.INI file. These
drivers include PROTMAN.DOS, PROTMAN.EXE and all drivers
listed on the transport= and netcard= lines. For a new
installation, the devdir= entry is set to point to the
WINDOWS directory.
LoadRMDrivers= Boolean
Specifies whether the real-mode NDIS 2.0 drivers are loaded
automatically when the NET START command is issued at the
MS-DOS command prompt. If the value for this entry is Yes,
then the real-mode network drivers will load automatically
and bind at the time net start is run. These drivers are the
NDIS 2.0 MAC drivers, NDISHLP.SYS, other NDIS 2.0 protocols,
and PROTMAN.DOS. If the value for this entry is No, the
real-mode drivers will not load unless the real-mode network
services are started manually with one of the NET commands
(for example; net start workstation, net use, net initialize,
net start net bind, net start full, net start basic, net
view). If NDIS 2.0 drivers are installed, the default value
for this entry is Yes.
netcard= path name, ...
SDKs: Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Addendum Page 25Microsoft Development Library Chapter 4 - Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Initialization Files
(c) 1992, 1993 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Specifies a comma separated list of the names of the NDIS 2.0
system. The driver names listed for this setting will most network adapter card drivers that are configured for your
likely end in .DOS or .SYS and must be real-mode NDIS 2.0
drivers. The value for this entry is set when you add or
remove network adapter cards using the Network Settings
dialog box in Windows Setup.
transport= path name
Specifies a comma separated list of the names of the NDIS 2.0
protocol drivers that are configured for your system. The
driver names listed for this setting will most likely end in
.DOS or .SYS and must be real-mode NDIS 2.0 drivers. The
value for this entry is set when you add or remove network
protocols using the Network Settings dialog box in Windows
Setup.
<NetworkCardDriver>.DOS= low | high
Specifies whether given real-mode NDIS 2.0 driver is loaded
into conventional memory (low), or into the upper memory area
(high). <NetworkCardDriver> represents the name of the NDIS
2.0 driver (for example, EXP16.DOS). By default, unless the
network adapter card driver contains code to load itself into
the UMA, the network adapter card driver will be loaded into
conventional memory.
[NWNBLink]
This section contains entries used by the NetBIOS services
driver for IPX/SPX, NWNBLINK.386. NetBIOS requires a lanabase
entry to map the NetBIOS services to a specific network
adapter card.
The [NWNBLink] section may contain the following entry:
lanabase= LANA number
Specifies the LANA number on which to assign to the NWNBLink
NetBIOS services driver. This entry is created or modified
when the IPX/SPX Compatible Transport with NetBIOS is
installed or when the IPX Support Driver (Monolithic) with
NetBIOS transport is installed. This entry has identical
functionality to the LANABASE= entry in the PROTOCOL.INI for
the NetBEUI protocol.
[vcache]
This section contains entries that specify parameters for the
32-bit file access cache. Only the MinFileCache parameter is
written to the SYSTEM.INI by default. The entries for the
other settings are not modified by the Windows for Workgroups
3.11 user interface and need to be edited manually. Take

special care when editing any of these settings.
The [vcache] section can contain the following entries:
MinFileCache= number
Specifies the size of the cache for the 32-bit file access
driver, VFAT.386. The size of the cache is represented in
kilobytes. Setup installs a 512K cache size when Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 is installed. If this entry is not present,
the size of the cache is defaulted to 64K. For information on
recommended cache sizes based on computer configuration, see
Chapter 11, _Tips for Optimizing Windows for Workgroups 3.11._
ForceLazyOn= drive letters
Specifies that VCACHE should enable lazy writing for the
given drive letters. This entry allows a user to override the
default lazy write condition of 32-bit file access (VFAT).
The drive letters should be concatenated together as
parameters for this entry (for example, _DEF_ identifies
drive letters D, E, and F). The default state of lazy writing
is dependent upon the computer configuration. Use of this
switch should be done with caution, as a disk full
condition may result in data loss if you do not have
sufficient disk space to complete disk write operations. To
change the state of lazy writing, you need to edit SYSTEM.INI
to add this option. You should not need to change the values
for this option.
ForceLazyOff= drive letters
Specifies that vcache should disable lazy writing for the
given drive letters. This entry allows a user to override the
default lazy write condition of 32-bit file access (VFAT).
The default state of lazy writing is dependent upon the
computer configuration. The drive letters should be
concatenated together as parameters for this entry (for
example, _DEF_ identifies drive letters D, E, and F). The
default state of lazy writing is dependent upon the computer
configuration. Using this option provides additional security
for assuring data is written to disk from the cache
immediately, rather than delaying the write operation,
however the use of this option may result in lower
performance. To change the state of lazy writing, you need to
edit SYSTEM.INI to add this switch. You should not need to
change the values for this option.
