As it turned out,  mine opened an icon view of the boot drive as well (C: in 
this case).  Why it didn't do that before,  I don't know.  Some things on 
that system do seem to be working better lately since I ran that config info 
program and fiddled with the config.sys file...
Another example of that is the shutdown process.  Before,  I'd end up with 
nothing but a blank blue screen more often than not,  and I ended up figuring 
that once all apparent (disk and other) activity had stopped that it was okay 
to turn it off.  Now,  I get that message that it's okay to turn it off 
within a reasonable period of time.  What change did this?  Damfino...
