To fix a problem that can cause Windows 95 and 98 to "blue screen" with a Fatal Exception message.
If a path to a file or folder contains an MS-DOS device name (i.e., PRN,NUL, CON, etc.), it is treated as invalid; however, where a path contains two or more MS-DOS device names, Windows does
not treat it as invalid. Instead, it performs an illegal resource access operation, becomes unresponsive, and/or crashes.
This error is usually encountered if you try
to access a URL in a malicious e-mail or Web page since folders and file names cannot be created with reserved MS-DOS device names. The problem can be fixed with downloads of Ifsmgr.vxd for Windows 95 and Windows 98 (including SE). They download a simple .exe to run.
