- I was one of the folks who suspected Deskpic, since my growing INI file
- problem started at precisely the time I installed Deskpic. But:
-
- 1) Several long-time Deskpic users report no problem with INI files.
- 2) Several folks with INI problems are not using Deskpic.
-
- Still no diagnosis,

- P.S.: I used some INI browsers to examine my OS2SYS.INI file. The entry
- called handles0 (or perhaps it was handles1) was responsible for most of
- the bloat. I don't know enough about INI structure to know what to look
- for or how to interpret this information.
-
- P.P.S.: After a reformat and reinstall, my INI files are growing at a
- much slower pace. I did not reinstall any screen blanker, although I'll
- probably take that risk shortly.
