Recently, I rearranged my hard disks (2 IDE) in order to interchange 
the master and slave. This meant that the windows directory and its
subdirectories moved from C: to D:. I dutifully went through the 
system.ini and win.ini files as well as the path statement to change 
the necessary instances of C: to D:. While most applications nou run,
there are a couple of things that still cannot find necessary pieces
but which I don't know how to correct. These are the edit and qbasic
programs. The "properties" dialog entry does point to the correct path
but apparently there is something else that I need to do. Does anyone
know what? Also, the Accessories program group originally disappeared
and I had to manually recreate it. Why was that?

Thanks in advance,
-Graham Brand
