That's reasonable. It believes the values are correct.

The Class field is readonly. Your instal is fine.

You need to delete the call the RegisterClasses and you need to delele all
the calls to CreateObject except the first one. The first CreateObject
creates the folder.

If may.

The physical files in the folder will not be altered. What might go away
(or reapppear) are the abstract objects that were in the folder before it
decided to morph itself. If you never had any abstract objects in the
folder, don't worry about it.

Also, if you make a Desktop backup, you can always restore it.

The REXX script will probably work. It it does not, you can always run
eautil from the command and strip the EAs off the folder. That's were the
class definition is stored in the case of folders.

HTH,

Steven
