Peter,

There are a number of repair types available in UniMaint. I've read the
manual and the online help and it's a mystery to me concerning possible
overlap in the various repair types. For example, does "Do All WPS, PM
and File Handle Repairs" include all the repairs (and more) that are
done under "Do All Individual INI File Repairs"? That being said, I have
the following major repair types in UniMaint:

1. Do All WPS, PM and File Handle Repairs

2. Do All Individual INI File Repairs

3. Remove Duplicate Create Another Menu Items

4. Destroy Objects

5. Delete All File Handles for Drive

6. Delete Valid File Handles

7. Delete Ignored File Handles

8. Do Aggressive File Handles Repair

There are also several types for displaying stuff. I do not think you
should try items #4, 5 and 6, above. However, you might try items #3 and
7 in addition to the three (3) repair types you already do.
