Well. If your data is valuable, you should be backing it up.

So far, so good.

Given how long you have used eCS/OS2 and the numerous times it's been
covered in presentations and articles, I somewhat surprised you don't know
what it is. I guess this g gives more validity to my statement that OS/2
users tend to live in caves. :-)
You want

Checkini is one of the tools in the package. Make a Desktop backup, using
your preferred tool, and then run
checkini /c
You will get a lot of prompts. If you don't understand a particular
prompt, write it down and ask questions.

This is a sign of WPS corruption. Hopefully, checkini will help you
correct this. It may also resolve a lot of other annoying little Desktop
problems you have been ignoring.
When did you install this copy of eCS/OS2?

You have used OS/2 long enough so that you should know that this is
exactly the type of response this sort of action will produce. It's not
going to hurt anything, but it is a waste of your time.
