I've run into a curious problem with the desktop. I frequently use a
Drive C ramdisk generated by a ramdisk program within the AUTO folder,
and the desktop.inf file is set up to show C:\*.* on bootup. Fine.
I then install some applications. Still fine. Then I edit the
desktop.inf file, installing the path C:\ before certain lines (e.g.,
... C:\ARCX.TTP@*.ARC@
or something like that). When I reboot (hot or cold) the system comes
up as it should, with a window open for drive C -- BUT -- every time a
program closes the window, it stays closed. Normally when you run
a program from the desktop, after the program runs the desktop reappears
as it was before, but this doesn't happen anymore -- the icons are still
there, but all windows are closed. Any ideas?
By the way, I've normally used NEWWORD v. 3 to edit the file. If anyone
can send me a copy of v. 4, which I hear is out now, it would be greatly
appreciated.
