Debbie and others-

yes this happend to me too. to fix it, from the program manager window,
select New, then 'program group.' call the group MAIN. you will then
have your "main" icon along with the others (windows apps, games, non-
windows apps etc) click to the main icon - it will be empty. then bring
it to full screen by pressing the ^ arrow in the upper right hand corner.
selecet New, then "program item" then type the name of the icon ex.:
file manager is called FILE MANAGER. press return, then use the browse button
to look through the directory of .exe files.  you will manually need to add
each item. (dos prompt, file manager, print manager, setup, clipboard, and
control panel)  then description line, type the name of the icon the way
you want it to appear on the screen. then on the command line, using the 
browse button will put the path and the name of the .exe file in for you.
I hope these direction aren't TOO confusing. mail me if you have questions
and i'll try to be more specific...............bob K.
