Hi Wayne
be careful with the default archiving of OS/2 in the settings of
the WPS !
It's a minimal archive and you'll be disappointed if you have
some
more objects on your WPS ;-(

In x:\OS2\Archives you'll find your file OS2.KEY ! How does it
look ?

Like this:

KEYFILE:OS2.INI
KEYFILE:OS2SYS.INI
KEYFILE:C:\CONFIG.SYS
KEYFILE:C:\STARTUP.CMD
KEYFILE:C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
KEYFILE:C:\OS2INIT.CMD

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

KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK0.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK1.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK10.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK11.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK12.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK13.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK14.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK15.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK2.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK3.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK4.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK5.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK6.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK7.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK8.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\DOCK9.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\OS2\DLL\SCENTER.CFG
KEYFILE:C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI
KEYFILE:C:\IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI
KEYFILE:C:\MPTN\ETC\RESOLV
KEYFILE:C:\MPTN\ETC\TCPOS2.INI
KEYFILE:C:\MPTN\ETC\HOSTS
KEYFILE:C:\TCPIP\BIN\TCPSTART.CMD
KEYFILE:\C:\MMOS2\MMPMCD.INI
KEYFILE:\C:\MMOS2\SPI.INI
KEYFILE:\C:\MMOS2\MIDITYPE.INI
KEYFILE:\C:\MMOS2\MMPM2.INI
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 !!

> Be sure to backup your desktop before attempting any Desktop
cleanup.

Steven, I'll give that a try (actually, I already had WPtools
downloaded,
but I don't think I've used it).

But, I'm afraid I'm ignorant in this area: how does one backup &
restore
the desktop? I use the background "properties" to archive the
desktop
between boots now & then when I've made alterations I wish to
keep, but I
have no idea how one backs up the desktop... the OS/2 Help index
gives no
clues. I don't have a backup software product. Up til now I've
just copied
folders to other physical hard drives (a right-click on the
desktop folder
doesn't give the copy option, however), and re-installed OS/2 if
that
became necessary.

Thanks,
Wayne
