- I keep icons that I use frequently on the visible part of the desktop, and
- things that I seldom of never use (Minimized Window Viewer, OS/2 Help, etc.)
- off the left side of the screen. Consequently, my desktop is about 1.5
- times the screen size, with a scroll bar at the bottom.
-
- Somehow, my desktop definition has got screwed up so that a few icons are
- far, far to the right (not politically speaking :-) If I click on the
- arrow part of the scroll bar, the desktop doesn't move that I can tell.
- If I click in the empty part of the scroll bar (to scroll a page), the
- icons move, but the thumb of the scroll bar does not perceptibly move.
- This means that the desktop is absolutely *HUGE*. I tried looking at
- the .INI files with EDITINI, but it's not obvious to me what to change.
- Any help to bail me out would be greatly appreciated. I *WILL* start
- backing up my desktop as soon as I have one worth backing up...
