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. Michael E. Perry ***Team OS/2***
