Try the following. Rather than putting a line in your
STARTUP.CMD file, simply make a shadow of the icon for Deskpic in you
STARTUP folder. I believe that you press CTRL and tag with the RMB and
then drag it into the STARTUP folder.
Then double click on either icon, and the top row of your
screen should change to a menu bar. Click on the top left corner and
go into Options to set up time and screen savers. Don't use the
animated backgrounds, they seem to give OS/2 the pip!
1. The animated backgrounds seem to work just fine for me, at least with
GA+SP.
2. The difference between STARTUP.CMD and the Startup Folder, according to
the SP README, is that STARTUP.CMD is run before the WPS is started, while
the Startup Folder would have to be afterward. It explicitly warns that
this may cause problems for programs that depend on PM or WPS functions.
