The following news item from Windows Technology News [WindowsTechnologyNews_002139@Newswire.Microsoft.com] shows that A) Microsoft is aware of the issues created by shipping multiple versions of Windows '95 over a period of time without makeing it clear what version each shipment contains and B) Windows is complex enough that it takes a program (which was not included with the O/S) to deturmine what the version is.
WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS 95 ARE YOU RUNNING?
If your company has added Windows 95 PCs one at a time over the last couple of years, you have a support nightmare on your hands. Do you know which ones are still running the retail release? Has Service Pack 1 been installed on all the systems? What about the essential kernel, OLE and password-list updates? To determine which updates are installed on a given system, you can use the Windows 95 Update Information Tool, QFECHECK.EXE. QFE stands for Quick-Fix Engineering. When you run this tool, it searches through the Registry and the Windows and Systems folders and reports its findings. If an updated file is missing or if a mismatch occurs between the version stored on the disk and the information in the Registry, the Update Information Tool will let you know. This simple tool is a must-have for any system administrator. You can download the tool from the Microsoft Support Online site at
