Then you are wrong again, it is a REXX script. :)

run this REXX script and you can remove (or REM) the set desktop= line from
your config.sys. Reboot to test it.

------------------------------------------------------------
/* recreate object ID of desktop */

call RxFuncAdd 'SYSLOADFUNCS', 'REXXUTIL', 'SYSLOADFUNCS'
call SysLoadFuncs
call SysSetObjectData SysBootDrive() || '\DESKTOP', 'OBJECTID='
------------------------------------------------------------

If you don't have a fixpak installed with the SysBootDrive function, you can
replace the SystBootDrive() function call with the drive letter of your boot
partition.
