I ran into this just yesterday.  I had repartitioned my hard drive so I
could use Boot Manager, and did a backup/restore with a Colorado tape drive,
using the (DOS) TAPE.EXE program.  (I realized too late that this program
does not back up the extended attributes files; the file names are illegal
for DOS.)

The best I could figure is that OS/2 then saw Desktop as a regular folder.
I ended up reinstalling, but that isn't entirely satisfactory...  whenever
I do a new install, I lose either or both command lines (DOS or OS/2)... it
says that it "can't open    ".

I have no idea how to fix that problem.
