Sorry folks - my previous posting got munged. Here is it again:
I use DESKMG33 to allow me to select the required combination of auto progs,
accs, desktop.inf and assign.sys. It works fine.
But I downloaded OKAMI from Stuttgart, Deutschland (I think) and tried to
run it without reading the docs carefully (my German isn't too good!). It
comes with a prog called GEM.PRG, supposed to give access to *.accs from the
shell. When I ran it, the menu bar didn't show any accs, and the system
froze. I had to reboot (from h/disk). But it went into a non-terminating
loop of auto folder programs load and reboot.
If I  selected a setup without accs, from DESKMGR when it loaded from auto,
all was well. But any setup with accs went into the lousy loop.
I thought at first that idle.acc was the culprit, so i dragged it to trash -
and all my files on h/d C: disappeared. When I reopened the C icon, they
reappeared! Weird!
Should I trash all my accs from the h/disk and recopy them from backup? Or will this risk munging the disk? Do I have a virus? If so, how can I kill it?
