Cardfile is missing due to Windows 95 converted 3.1x program groups.
Cause:
Windows 95 does not include a new version of the Windows 3.1x Cardfile application. When Windows 95 is installed over Windows 3.1x, Windows 95 setup converts all Windows 3.1x Program Manager groups to folders that are located inside the 'Programs' folder on the 'Start' menu. All program icons are converted to shortcuts.
Solution:
Locate Cardfile.exe (in the C:\Windows directory) and add it to the 'Programs' menu, or copy the file from the original Windows 3.1x installation diskettes or CD-ROM.
NOTE 1: The following procedure may only be applied if Windows 95 was installed next to or over Windows 3.1x.
NOTE 2: If Windows 95 is installed on a computer that does not contain any version of Windows 3.1x, copy Cardfile.exe from the original Windows 3.1x installation diskettes or CD-ROM into the current Windows 95 directory and follow the procedures below.
1) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu and select 'Settings'.
2) Select 'Taskbar...'. (The 'Taskbar Properties' dialog box appears.)
3) Click the 'Start Menu Programs' tab.
4) Click 'Add...'. (The 'Create Shortcut' dialog box appears.)
5) Click 'Browse...'
6) Select the hard drive designation from the 'Look in' drop-down list box.
7) Double-click the Windows folder in the list box.
8) Select Cardfile.exe in the list box.
