Aptiva/IBM IntelliStation/IBM PC - How to restore the original archive desktop in OS/2
Applicable to: United States
This document is for Aptiva and IBM PC/IBM IntelliStation machines that are using OS/2:
If the system is running, then reboot the computer by pressing "Ctrl-Alt-Del". If the system is off, then turn it on. When you see "OS2" in the upper left hand corner press "Alt-F1". This will bring you to a blue screen showing information similar to what is shown below.
Press "X" to restore the original desktop.
-------------------- Start Example of Screen--------------------
Recovery Choices
Select the system configuration file to be used, or enter the option corresponding to the archive desired:
ESC - Continue the boot process using \CONFIG.SYS without changes
C - Go to command line, (no files replaced, use original CONFIG.SYS)
V - Reset primary video display to VGA and reboot
M - Restart the system from the Maintenance Desktop (Selective Install)
Choosing an archive from the list below replaces your current CONFIG.SYS, Desktop directory, and INI files with an older version. These older versions might be different from your current files. Your current files are saved in \OS2\ARCHIVES\CURRENT.
