Okay, here's the beginning of my DESKTOP.INF file.  

#Z 01 C:\AUTO\NEODESK3\NEOLOAD.PRG@ 
#a060000
#b000000
#c???000?000<000?00;;400;0;;;4440??0;;?0?;0;;;0??03111103
#d 
#E 90 13 
#W 00 0D 02 01 1E 15 00 @
#W 00 00 00 0C 15 09 00 @
[stuff deleted]

Minus the first line, which tells TOS to boot NeoDesk, the fifth line 
down reads #E 90 13 and before I changed it, it read #E 90 12.  
Actually, the 1 has to do with something else, but I thought 
mentioning 12 was a better idea than just 2 since some of the other 
values could also have been 2.  To tell you the truth, I have no idea 
why yours was just 2 as the third character.  I'd just say, as long 
as it works, don't worry about it. ;^)
