Hi Eddy--

RT> At one point here I had the "system clock" showing up on the desktop.
RT> Not only is it not there any more,  but I can't even seem to find an
RT> icon in the current setup to access it!

RT> Can somebody point me to the right file here (Warp Connect),  and
RT> suggest what I'd need to do to re-create the icon in its default
RT> location?

ET>I don't think it's a program file, but I think it's an object on the
  >desktop, it's created by the install in the System Setup folder.

ET>In the file \OS2\INI.RC on the boot drive I found this:
  >/* Objects that are in the system setup folder in OS/2 
  >system folder on the desktop */
  >"PM_InstallObject" "System Clock;WPClock;;RELOCATE"
  >"OBJECTID=" 



ET>I don't have experience with this because I haven't lost any desktop
  >object and I don't intend to change that.

    I didn't answer Roy because I haven't tried any of the recipes "to
re-create the icon," so don't know whether or not they really work.  And
it certainly doesn't help anyone to tell him that he should have had a
backup--after it is too late.

    But, I once stupidly killed a desktop object that was supposed to
have the "no delete" attribute (as does the system-clock object); I
don't remember how I managed to do that but I must have deleted the
original object while experimenting with Object Utility/2 :-(.  I just
restored the desktop to its previous form from my desktop backup
(UniMaint).  Or, I could have restored the entire boot drive from its
backup.  There is nothing like a good backup policy to correct for
operator stupidity :-).

    Regards,
