Where is the archived startup folder? In one of the four files in
C:\os2\archives\xx\?

So what happens to the inaccessible Desktops. Are they overwritten? Do
they just continue to occupy disk space forever? Will they come back to
bite me some day?

Maybe I just want to know more than I should. I am going to delete the
items suggested by chekini and go on to cleanini.
