	Now what Peter said was very good but a simpler way may be to do
    the following. 	Set up a stable system. 
			Set up the INI files and the desktop the way you want. 
			Open the desktop SETTINGS booklet.
			Open to the ARCHIVE page.
			Select CREATE AT ...  &  DISPLAY RECOV...
			   and other settings as appropriate.
			Shutdown and reboot.
			Go an unselect CREATE AT ...
	Congratualtions you now have a desktop that you can always get back
    to if needed. Amazing, IBM at last realised the need for this!
