         Start Up with the Same Customized .INI File in OS/2

DESCRIPTION

You want to start up your system to the same environment each time.

RESOLUTION

Once you have customized your system, you can save your .INI files and 
restart your system with the same .INI files each time.  Following are 
reasons for saving your INI files:

- Protection from .INI corruption.
- Changes are not reflected in the customized .INI files.
- You can maintain the same customization for workstations across
  platforms.

Follow the steps below to start up your system with your customized 
.INI file.
 
1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file, adding the following line to the beginning
   of the file:

    CALL=X:\OS2\CMD.EXE /C X:\COPYINI.CMD

2. Start up your system from diskette.

3. At the prompt, type the following, pressing Enter after each.

     CD OS2
     COPY OS2*.INI PRM*.INI

   where X: is the drive OS/2 is installed on.

4. Create the COPYINI.CMD file as follows:

    /* COPYINI.CMD */
    @ECHO OFF
    echo Restore OS/2 INI files are in progress...
    X:\OS2\ATTRIB.EXE -S -R -H 
    X:\OS2\OS2*.INI
    X:\OS2\XCOPY.EXE X:\OS2\PRM.INI X:\OS2\OS2.INI
    X:\OS2\XCOPY.EXE X:\OS2\PRMSYS.INI X:\OS2\OS2SYS.INI
    echo Restore OS/2 INI files completed.
    EXIT

5. Save and close the file; then shut down and restart your system.
