Installing Win95 with no MSN or InBox Icons

If you want to install Windows95 and not have it create the MSN or Exchange InBox every time

you need to create a setup INF file. Instructions for doing this can be found later in this section under
Batch Install Program

Having created an INF file you want to use, add the following lines to remove both icons during installation:

  • [msn.remove]
    setup.ini,desktop,,%Setup_MSN_DESC%,MSNEXCH.EXE %Setup_MSN_DESC%

    [Install]
    UpdateINIs= msn.remove
    DelReg=NoInbox_Icon

    [strings]
    Setup_MSN_DESC="Set Up The Microsoft Network"

    [NoInbox_Icon]
    HKLM,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\"{00020D76-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
