Aptiva-PS/1 - How to restore an original or saved desktop configuration
Applicable to: United States
The original Windows Program Manager desktop can be restored on PS/1 or Aptiva models which come with Windows 3.1 pre-installed. There are two situations where this may be desirable:
1. You want to restore the original Windows desktop configuration.
2. You receive messages about an invalid or corrupted group file when Windows is started.
The steps below restore the Windows desktop (either the original arrangement from when the system was purchased, or a "custom" arrangement if previously saved). Any icons that have been added to the system will be removed if you restore the Original configuration.
1. Start the system normally.
2. When Windows has started, open the PS/1 Tools or Aptivaware group.
3. Double-click on the PS/1 Fitness or Personal Desktop icon.
4. Double-click on Windows Reset or Personal Desktop.
5. Click once on Original Configuration or Saved Configuration, whichever you want to restore.
6. Select the Restore option.
7. Click on OK.
8. Click on OK again and Windows will restart. The selected desktop configuration is now restored.
If for any reason the PS/1 Tools group cannot be found, here is an alternative approach to restore the desktop:
1. Start the system normally.
2. When the blue PS/1 logo screen appears, press the [F12] key. The system will skip Windows and go directly to the PS/1 Menu or Aptiva Menu screen.
3. At the PS/1 Menu, select option 3 ( DOS command prompt ).
4. At the command prompt type:
WIN C:\PS1TOOLS\WINRESET.EXE <press Enter>
