I also Unimaint to manage my desktop. This weekend I had a problem, DOS
sessions could not run anymore, so I deleted the whole DOS environment and
installed the DOS environment again with selective install, and put fixpak 9
again to update the DOS environment with the fixes in fp 9. But then the video 
mode wat put on 640x480x256 and all colors very different from anything before 
(much, much red) - weird - but I remembered Unimaint and I removed the current 
desktop directory and put back the last backed up desktop directory (nothing
else, I didn't put back the INI files from the same backup), and rebooted,
then my desktop was restored. I had backed up my desktop with Unimaint each
time I installed software which put objects on the desktop or I moved or put
objects on the desktop myself or I changed my desktop otherwise.

Very true.
