- Extended Non English characters (letters with accent)
- MS-DOS BUG
- =====================================================
- Ms-DOS doesn't recognize extended non English characters.
- , etc.
- In Non English Win 95/98/ME only, if extended characters detected then:
- Instead of copying RestDef.exe to the Startup folder while in MS-DOS,
- it makes a shortcut to RestDef.exe in the Startup folder while in
- windows (only if you don't use the Auto Backup), then on each startup
- RestDef.exe checks if a restore from ERS ME was made and restores
- defaults.
- To get full access of Windows from within MS-DOS, rename any
- folder that have extended non English characters.
- e.g Rename Startp to Startup.
- Windows should detect the name change and adjust the Registry
- accordingly.
- Select to Restart Windows while holding the Shift key then release it,
- for Windows to update the Start menu after renaming.
-
- Note:
- If you have a program in the Startup folder that is preventing
- Windows from starting and you have accents in your Startup path
- names, then you will not be able to delete the program while
- in MS-DOS. Also the Rename the Startup folder option in ERS
- would not work.
- ERS will still be able to restore the registry and all other
- backups whether you have accents or not in the Startup folder.
