You would not have to manually re-create the Icons nor even edit your
config.sys etc, (and maybe not even reinstall at all) if you used:

--- Excerpt Config.sys ---
CALL=F:\TOOLS\SHIFTRUN.EXE 5 CMD.EXE "/C F:\TOOLS\ROBOSAVE\ROBOREST.CMD"

Robosave.Zip                    11-09-93         102,555
    Robosave v3.04, backup your Workplace Shell desktop

    ShiftRun is a utility that enables a user to optionally start any OS/2
    Full Screen or Windowed program within the same OS/2 session.
