>>>>>> You said: =

So, you need to add these lines, i.e. my config.sys, too:

KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK0.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\....
...

...
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM.INI
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\WIN.INI

I think it is a very good idea to do a regular archiving of the =

the WPS ...
... I am doing a very, very regular copy of SCENTER.CFG because =

I have got it corrupted too many times: so im doing this

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I'm sorry, I feel like a dolt, but I have to ask some questions to be sur=
e
I am understanding the advice I've gotten so far:

What did you mean by " i.e. my config.sys, too" (see above)

I did add those lines as you suggested to x:\os2\archives\os2.key. I used=

OS/2 system editor and saved the file under a different name, then booted=

from diskettes and named that new file os2.key. I assume this is a list o=
f
files to be archived when you right click on the desktop and then specify=

(check off) in the properties archive tab: create archive at each system=

startup..... is that correct? =

Is this what's meant by a 'WPS' archive? (I can't find 'WPS' in the
Information\help facility) =

Once I've booted after checking off the archive at startup, I assume I ca=
n
uncheck it until I make changes to my desktop layout, is that right?

I did reboot, but surprisingly the archive didn't seem to take any longer=

than normal... should it?

Where do those files that are archived end up? (I don't see them anywhere=

in the x:\os2\archives folders)

And now that I've rebooted once, does that mean I've done the 'backup' th=
at
was suggested in a prior post and now can go ahead and run the WPTools
utility 'checkini', knowing I can restore the desktop by choosing that
most-recent archive at bootup if the utility screws something up?

Is there anytning I need to know about HOW to invoke checkini? Is it
invoked simply by typing 'checkini' (for no changes) or 'checkini /C' (to=

effect changes)?

Thanks,
Watne
