On my crazy experiments I tried to see what happened to the OS/2 Warp 4.52 desktop if I removed the WINCFG.DLL file.

I rename it from WINCFG.DLL to WINCFG.OLD and rebooted.

Result: Something was badly broken, but the desktop still loads.

For example, "System Setup" items broke. The startup folder also broke. Some of the WPS items on the "System Setup" disappeared.


When I renamed it back to WINCFG.DLL on the next reboot everything came back to normal.
