SUMMARY
Microsoft Undelete for MS-DOS (UNDELETE.EXE) and Microsoft Undelete
for Windows (MWUNDEL.EXE) are designed to share a common UNDELETE.INI
file. The UNDELETE.INI file specifies how Undelete should configure
memory-resident delete protection. This protection is enabled each
time you run Undelete with one of the following:
undelete /load
undelete /s[drive]
undelete /t[drive]
MORE INFORMATION
The UNDELETE.INI file is a text file that can be edited using an ASCII
text editor, such as MS-DOS Editor. If the MSDOSDATA environment
variable is set, the UNDELETE.INI file is created in the directory
specified by MSDOSDATA. Otherwise, the UNDELETE.INI file is created in
the directory that contains UNDELETE.EXE.
You can change the UNDELETE.INI file settings using any of the
following three methods:
Using Undelete for Windows
From the Options menu, choose Configure Delete Protection. The changes
you make take affect the next time you load Undelete. (This is the
simplest method.)
Using the MS-DOS Command Line
When you load Undelete using the /S[drive] or /T[drive] parameter, the
mode of delete protection and which drive[s] you specify to protect
are saved in the UNDELETE.INI file. These changes take affect
immediately.
Note: This method does not allow you to specify a drive to be left
unprotected. For example, if you had been previously loading Delete
Sentry on drive C, UNDELETE /SD would enable Delete Sentry on both
drives C and D.
Editing the UNDELETE.INI File
Use an ASCII text editor, such an MS-DOS Editor, to change the
UNDELETE.INI file settings.
For more information on the UNDELETE.INI file, type help undelete at the MS-DOS command prompt, press
ENTER and refer to the Notes section.
