- Try the following. Rather than putting a line in your
- STARTUP.CMD file, simply make a shadow of the icon for Deskpic in you
- STARTUP folder. I believe that you press CTRL and tag with the RMB and
- then drag it into the STARTUP folder.
-
- Then double click on either icon, and the top row of your
- screen should change to a menu bar. Click on the top left corner and
- go into Options to set up time and screen savers. Don't use the
- animated backgrounds, they seem to give OS/2 the pip!

- 1. The animated backgrounds seem to work just fine for me, at least with
- GA+SP.
-
- 2. The difference between STARTUP.CMD and the Startup Folder, according to
- the SP README, is that STARTUP.CMD is run before the WPS is started, while
- the Startup Folder would have to be afterward. It explicitly warns that
- this may cause problems for programs that depend on PM or WPS functions.
