Hi Wayne,

To rename a folder, don't Right-click. Use a regular Left-click but
hold the Alt button down while you do so.

I run checkini like this:

CHECKINI /C /S /Y:2 /W

which Steven absolutely *hates* because this is sort of a "master zap"
way of running it. Hey, I live on the edge.

Always save your old OS2*.INI versions. Checkini makes backups of the
two files but will overwrite the previous one; I rename them so I have
them all.

Pesky little things, those INI files. Checkini wasn't able to get rid
of my boot hangs -- I had to use UniMaint to clean out whatever the
problem was. One run with UniMaint and I've been booting without a
problem ever since.

Wayne, is there any chance you can run UniMaint Repair on your system to
see if it will fix your INI's? It worked here when checkini wouldn't.
