:>Hi!

My launchpad exhibited the same behavior after installing the latest 
compuserve for os2 package. I erased the original icon from my os2 
applications folder and opened the drawer and there was the green filled 
circle with the question mark in it.  I could not delete it and did not want 
it there forever.  I deleted the launchpad and got a default one back and 
recustomized it.
I would also like to know what these circles and question marks are and how 
to get rid of them short of deleting the launchpad and starting with a new 
one.  WEre the question marks caused by deleting the program from a folder?  
This doesnt seem probable since I've done it before.
Enlightenment requested here.
