How to clear compatibility settings?


Recommended Posts

Sometimes when installing old software I need to make a shortcut to the

installer on the CD -- for example I:\setup.exe. After installing, I delete

the shortcut. The strange thing is, Windows seems to remember the

compatibility setting even when the shortcut is not being used. Furthermore

it will remember the setting even for a different CD, so if I then try to

install a newer program, which is incidentally also I:\setup.exe, the

installer will say something like "Windows 95 is not supported". I then have

to make the shortcut again and turn off compatibility mode. Since it appears

that Windows actually stores the compability data somewhere other than the

shortcut file itself, how might I be able to access these settings and

modify them manually?
