SYMPTOMS
========
When you start an MS-DOS prompt from the Microsoft Office shortcut bar, you may
receive the following error:
<Office Path>\Shortc~1\Office\MS-DOS~1.pif Invalid program file name,
please check your pif file
CAUSE
=====
The Cmd line for the MS-DOS prompt properties incorrectly points to where
<Winnt> is the directory where your Windows NT files reside.
WORKAROUND

1. Choose Properties on the MS-DOS icon on the Office shortcut bar.
2. Click the Program tab.
3. Change the Cmd line to Cmd.exe.
A Windows NT command window will now open when you click the MS-DOS button on the
Microsoft Office shortcut bar.
