If the information on this page regarding the different CONFIG.SYS settings is not sufficient for you, you'll find additional explanations in the respective chapters of the OS/2 Online Reference.

Press "Apply" to have the changes you've made written to the CONFIG.SYS file. This will only change the CONFIG.SYS lines which correspond to the settings on this page. The lines corresponding to the other pages in the "OS/2 Kernel" object will not be changed. This button is only active if you have made any changes to the settings on this page. Please note that you will have to restart the computer to let the changes take effect. A WPS restart does not suffice.

Press "Optimize" to have XFolder propose you new settings according to your system characteristics. CONFIG.SYS will only be changed after you press "Apply" also.

Press "Default" to have the OS/2 default settings displayed on the notebook page. CONFIG.SYS will only be changed after you press "Apply" also.

In the "Autostart" group you may set what will be started when your computer is booting up. This corresponds to the SET AUTOSTART=xxx setting in CONFIG.SYS, with "xxx" being:

• PROGRAMS: If you deactivate this, no programs can be started, except for the programs in the "System startup" folder.
  
• TASKLIST: If you deactivate this, the tasklist will not be shown.
  
• FOLDERS: if you could disable this, no folders would be opened, and neither would be the Desktop. This is why this entry is not displayed on the notebook page and will always be added by XFolder.
  
• CONNECTIONS: If you deactivate this, no network connections will be started.
  
• LAUNCHPAD: If you disable this, the Launchpad will not be started. But you can still place it in the "System startup" folder or start it manually.
  
• WARPCENTER: If you disable this, the WarpCenter will not be started. This entry is only valid for OS/2 Warp 4. But you can still place it in the "System startup" folder or start it manually.

In the group "Restart after system startup..." you may determine which objects will be restarted after the WPS has booted. This corresponds to the SET RESTARTOBJECTS=xxx setting in CONFIG.SYS:

• "All" (SET RESTARTOBJECTS=YES) will start all objects that were open when the system was shut down the last time. Unfortunately, this is the default value. Note: Restarting all objects does not work if you are using XFolder's eXtended Shutdown.
  
• "Nothing" (=NO) does not restart any objects, not even those in the "System startup" folder. (But it does start those in the XFolder Startup folder).
  
• "Startup folders only" (=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY) will only restart the objects in the OS/2 System startup folder. This setting is strongly recommended because the default setting can lead to enormous problems if a program has taken down the system and will then be restartet. In addition, XFolder assumes that you have this setting enabled.
  
• "After reboot only" (REBOOT ONLY) will only restart anything if the system was just (re-)booted and not after the WPS is restarting after an error. I guess this only makes sense if you use the "All" option above.
