That's good, because I can't.

My system was finally free so, instead of clicking on the UniMaint
folder, I opened a command line window, switched to my UNIMAINT
subdirectory, and ran ICON.cmd (below). (ICON.cmd opens a directory
folder *from* the command line.)

UNIMAINT wouldn't open as an icon folder. I got a SYS3171 in
PMSHELL.EXE and the Workplace Shell closed and reopened.

Before I go chasing through my Desktop looking for a possible cause, is
that where I should be looking? It seems to me that the contents of the
Desktop have nothing to do with what ICON.cmd does.

How about if I try this: I could try to reinstall UniMaint, although
the SHSINST installer might bomb when it tries to write to \UNIMAINT\.
If SHSINST did bomb, I could reinstall UniMaint *but* put it in a
*different* directory so I could at least use it, and then I could
delete the contents of the original \UNIMAINT\ directory from the
command line, then remove (with rd) the UNIMAINT directory, and then run
UniMaint from its new directory to purge any old UniMaint entries in the
OS2*.INI files.

Comments?

Following is the Rexx code for ICON.cmd:

/* The ICON command file opens the named or
/ current directory as an icon folder.
/ Examples: ICON (opens the current directory)
/ ICON H:\TEMP (opens the H:\TEMP directory) */

if RxFuncQuery('SysSetObjectData') then,
call RxFuncAdd SysSetObjectData, RexxUtil, SysSetObjectData

/* Set icondir to the target directory path. */
/* - If a path was specified on the command line, use it. */
/* - Otherwise, use the current directory. */
if arg() > 0 then icondir = arg(1)
else icondir = DIRECTORY()

/* Now open the folder. */
call SysSetObjectData icondir, "OPEN=ICON"

/* End of program. */
exit
