Hold Shft+Ctrl+F1 when the desktop first appears while booting, this will
prevent any app from starting automatically.  You only need to do this once.
If you shut down and restart OS/2 will not try to restart the crashing app.
There seems to be a concensus on CI$ that the 2.1 clipboard code is buggy and
may well cause OS/2 to hang in some situations.  It's happened to me.
