METHODS TO RETRIEVE YOUR "SHUTDOWN" AND "LOCKUP" OPTIONS
====================================================================
If you have access to another system that DOES have shutdown and lockup:
1. Get a formatted floppy disk. Go to the system that does have the
shutdown and lockup options. Put the floppy in the floppy drive.
2. Go to an OS/2 Window and from the root directory type:
EAUTIL DESKTOP ATTRIB.MOD /S /P
If you installed 2.1 over 2.0 or are using 2.0 you will need to type:
EAUTIL OS!2_2.0_D ATTRIB.MOD /S /P
3. Copy the file ATTRIB.MOD from the root directory of your harddrive
to the floppy.
COPY ATTRIB.MOD A:
4. Get the floppy that you copied ATTRIB.MOD onto and go to the system
that is missing shutdown and lockup. Boot off the installation diskette,
when prompted, put in diskette 1 and hit enter, at the Welcome Screen hit
escape to get the a: prompt.
5. Take out diskette 1 and put in the floppy that has ATTRIB.MOD on it.
6. From the root directory of your harddrive type:
EAUTIL DESKTOP A:ATTRIB.MOD /J /O /P
If you installed 2.1 over 2.0 or are using 2.0 you will need to type:
EAUTIL OS!2_2.0_D A:ATTRIB.MOD /J /O /P
7. Take the floppy out of the floppy drive and reboot. You should now have
shutdown and lockup on you desktop popup menu.
If you DO NOT have access to another system that has the "Shutdown and
"Lockup" options you will need to do the following procedure. This procedure
will take you to a DEFAULT desktop - you will lose your customization.
1. Boot off of the Installation diskette, when prompted, put in
diskette 1 and hit enter, at the Welcome Screen hit escape to
get the a: prompt, and then put in diskette 2.
STAY AT THE A: PROMPT, If you installed from CD, you
will be dropped off at the CD drive in the DISK_1 subdirectory,
change to the DISK_2 subdirectory.
2. Run chkdsk (/f if FAT, /f:2 if HPFS) until clean. The
command is: CHKDSK C: /F or CHKDSK C: /F:2
where C: is the drive on which OS/2 resides.
If crosslinked files, copy the files that are crosslinked
from harddrive to floppy, delete from harddrive, and copy
from floppy back to harddrive.
3. Switch to drive which contains OS2. Change to your OS2
subdirectory, delete OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI
If you get "Access Denied" type:
ATTRIB OS2*.INI -R (Now you will be able to delete the files)
4. From your OS2 subdirectory:
Type the following: MAKEINI OS2.INI INI.RC <enter>
MAKEINI OS2SYS.INI INISYS.RC <enter>
5. Change back to your root directory.
Delete entire DESKTOP directory structure, including DESKTOP directory
itself (if you have more than one desktop directory, do the same
for those). If you are using OS/2 2.0 your DESKTOP directory
name will be OS!2_2.0_D. If your system is formatted HPFS
you must include directory names with spaces in them in double
quotes. Before you can remove a directory, it must have no files under
it. You cannot be in the directory itself when you go to remove it.
6. From your root directory:
Type the following: ATTRIB WP?ROOT.?SF -H -R -S <enter>
DEL WP?ROOT.?SF <enter>
7. Take any floppys out of floppy drive and REBOOT!!
