- This sort of annoyance happens once in a while, and I don't know if there's
- a prescribed cure. I would put set restartobjects=startupfoldersonly in my
- config.sys -- that way you don't have to worry about the alt-f1 trick, OS/2
- will only start your startupfolder programs on booting.
-
- Hope that helps some, and there's more information about restartobjects in
- a file called os2config.zoo. It lists most of the config.sys commands.
