You have what we proffessional OS2 support types call a bunged up .INI file. 
Simplest solution is to restore to a previously stored configuration via 
desktop archives (unless you were running without a net). 
Regarding archives, everyone should run archives on, and periodically when 
they find a config they like and want to get back to, shutdown, bring the 
system back up and go the d:\os2\archives directory and RENAME the 01, 02, 03 
directories to something more meaningful. This will allow you to keep the 
current archives while the system cycles through the 01 02 03 files. Normally 
an archive should be using under a meg.
