Here's my problem -
  
    In OS/2 2.0 I want to add a program object to the desktop
programaticaly.  I know I can do this with a WinCreateObject
call, however it requires a location and I can't quite figure
out how to determine the active desktop.  The book file says
to use a constant which doesn't exist.  If I put "d:\DESKTOP"
(where D is my bootup drive) it works only on machines that
use the \DESKTOP as the active desktop, but for instance, on
my machine the desktop is in \DESKTOP1, so no object appears.
So how can I query for the active desktop.  I search thru
OS2.INI looking for an application/key that might tell me
but didn't see an obvious answer.

Anyways, any suggestions (solutions?!) would be appreciated.

Thanks,
