These
executables exist in the
\Windows\System32
directory, but you can??™t use them at the command
prompt. When you try to execute them, you??™ll see an error message, such as ???The C:\WINDOWS\
system32\autolfn.exe application cannot be run in Win32 mode.??? The reason you need to know
about these three utilities, even though you??™ll never use them from the command line, is that some
misguided individuals have marked them as viruses and will attempt to tell you that these files are
a source of infection. Not all of the utilities in the
\Windows\System32
directory execute from the
command line.
NOTE
Convert can??™t update the boot drive of your system immediately because the drive is locked
by the operating system. However, the Convert utility will offer to mark the drive for conversion
during the next boot cycle when the system hasn??™t locked the drive. Your system must have
access to the AutoConv, AutoFmt, and AutoLfn utilities to perform the conversion during a boot
or the conversion will fail. The system normally recovers from this error, but it??™s better to check
for the presence of the required utilities at the outset.
You actually control the activities of the AutoConv, AutoFmt, and AutoLfn utilities through the
Convert utility.
