The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 for Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

For example, if you have Windows installed in the C:\Windows folder and you choose to install Internet Explorer 4.0 in the "D:\Internet Explorer 4.0" folder, a "C:\Program Files\Backup Information" folder is created instead of a "D:\Internet Explorer 4.0\Backup Information" folder.
