I "disconnected" the PCShell when I installed DeskTop Set last week and want to get it back. What files do I import and where will I find them?

John In SYSTEM.INI, find the line that reads: Shell=progman.exe Change it to: Shell=c:\cps\wndt.exe This assumes that the CPS directory is named CPS and that it is installed on your C: drive. After doinf this save, exit, reload, and Bob's your uncle (or is he mine..?). Hope this helps. David

More specifically, Dave, how do I get the Desk Top Set group into the PCTools shell since it was initially installed in the Windows shell. PCTOols says to import the *.grp files. Specifically which ones and where do I find them?

John My DeskTop Set group is named OKNA.GRP. The way to get it into PC Tools is to go into your PC Tools Program Groups folder, select File/Import, and then select OKNA.GRP, which should be with most if not all of your other .GRPs in your \WINDOWS directory. Another way is to use SmartFind, either on its own or from the PC Tools File Manager, to find OKNA.GRP and drag it to your PC TOOLS desktop or into your Program Groups folder. If you can't locate OKNA.GRP anywhere, it is possible that the .GRP file has a different name. To find out its name and location, click on the DeskTop Set folder in Program Manager, select File/Properties…, and, under Group File, see what the .GRP file is called and where it is (if the file's directory is not given, the file is in your \WINDOWS directory). Hopre this all makes sense, and that it helps. David
