I know it is an "RTFM" question, but I don't have a manual to read (except a few books on PC-DOS).
I have desktop shadows for MESA 2, WordStar 7A, WSEdit, WDSibyl and OpenWatcom C/C++ and OpenWatcom Tools programs. They take up the entire top row of my Workplace shell I would like to have a cleaner Workplace shell without a lot of shadow shortcuts. In Windows , there are "shortcuts" that can be deleted.
Can I reduce desktop clutter by removing some of these unwanted shadows? Is it possible to delete a desktop shadow without deleting the program? Where does that program reside after deleting the shadow?
Thank you all for any suggestions. I can explain further if need
Being a shadow (eCS), shortcut (Windows) or alias (Apple), it can be deleted without deleting the original program icon. The program icon should be found in the program folder for the program installed. You will have to check your desktop folders.
What I always do is make a restore point before I make major changes. This way if something goes wrong, it can be restored back to where one had it.
Right click on desktop, select properties, select archives tab, and then check "archive desktop", and then check "at next desktop startup only". Close and restart eCS. You have created a restore point. I also check "display recovery choices at each system startup while making choices under the Archive tab. It mades it easier to restore if something ever goes wrong.
