- In a recent posting, I commented that when I began using Deskpic, my
- os2sys.ini file began growing at the rate of 1MB a day. When I caught
- it, it had reached 11MB. I asked whether other users could confirm this
- behavior.
-
- Users of Deskpic, Window Washer, and Scrutil have written that they have
- been using these programs for months with no explosive growth in the
- size of their os2sys.ini files (no reports one way or the other from
- Yowza users). Two explanations:
-
- 1) Deskpic had nothing to do with the peculiar behavior in my system.
- That this behavior coincided with my introducing Deskpic was
- coincidental.
-
- 2) I had a fair amount of trouble configuring Deskpic and I may have
- done something inappropriate that caused it to misbehave.
-
- Any advice on which of the preceding seems most likely (and on
- alternative explanations) would be welcome.
-
- Thanks,
-
