- TITLE :DocErr: Windows 3.1 Migration Occurs Only During Initial Logon
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:DocErr BUGLIST3.10
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system Version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server Version 3.1
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause
- serious, system-wide problems that may require you to
- reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot
- guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
- Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own
- risk.
-
-
- SYMPTOM
- =======
-
- Page 316 of the Microsoft Windows NT System Guide states that Windows
- NT will read the WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI, and REG.DAT files each time
- Windows NT is booted. This is a documentation error. By default,
- Windows NT only performs migration of program groups and settings once
- for each user. After that, Windows NT does not make modifications to
- the registry for migration purposes. Also, changes made in subsequent
- Windows 3.1 sessions are not migrated into Windows NT.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- See article Q102884 for more information on the migration of Windows
- 3.1 program groups and settings.
-
- To perform a migration after the initial logon, use the following
- procedure:
-
- 1. Log onto an administrative account.
- 2. Run Windows Setup from the Main group.
- 3. From the Options menu, choose Delete User Profiles
- 4. Highlight the desired user and choose Delete.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1
- and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this
- problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
- Base as it becomes available.
