Last night, I was using file manager (Windows 3.0) to move a file from one
directory to another.  I had three windows open while I was doing this.

I copied the file ok, but when I went to exit the file manager, I was told
that there was an "unrecoverable file damage" or something like that.  I 
found out that my main window that contains the basic functions had disappeared.

I exited windows and started up again and was told that the main program group 
was damaged or invalid and had to be recreated.  No problem.  I opened the 
manual to find out what to do, but the manual was no help at all.  I wound up 
reinstalling Windows.

My questions:

What the heck did I do?  

Has this happened to anyone else?

How does one recreate a group without reinstalling the entire package?

In case it matters, I'm running it on DOS 4.01.

Thanks in advance!
