• The new "Workplace Shell" object contains those pages from the old "System" object which deal with the Workplace Shell only. I felt these are not really "System" settings and deserve a separate object.

  XFolder also adds most of its own settings pages here, because these mostly affect the Workplace Shell. This is described in more detail on the "Global Settings" page in this reference.

  In this object you will also find the "WPS Classes" page with which you may manipulate the WPS class list. You will find an introduction to WPS classes on a separate page.

• The new "OS/2 Kernel" object contains those pages from the old "System" object which deal with OS/2's internals, e.g. the "Screen" settings.

  In this object you'll find several new settings pages to change a number of settings in the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of your boot drive. Since these settings are a bit hard to remember and since erroneous settings in this file might even lead to OS/2 not booting any more, XFolder tries to help you by setting this up automatically.

  On each of these new settings pages, which will be explained in more detail on the following pages, you will find a button called "Update CONFIG.SYS" instead of the usual "Undo" and "Default" buttons. Pressing this button will cause the CONFIG.SYS file to be rewritten according to the settings you've changed.

  The different settings are explained in detail when you press the "Help" button on one of the settings pages. Please read the following pages to obtain a general introduction of what these settings do with certain parts of the OS/2 kernel:

  • The OS/2 Scheduler
  • OS/2 memory management
  • File-system caches

Please note that you should not open the old "System" object and one of the new objects together to change settings. The settings pages are not prepared for this, and this might mess up the WPS settings.
