DESCRIPTION

When installing OS/2 Warp 4 on a computer that has a previous version 
of OS/2 installed, the installation program creates a Previous 
Desktop folder on the new Desktop and saves
all of the old icons in that folder.

RESOLUTION

If you install OS/2 Warp 4 over a previous version of OS/2, your 
previous Desktop is replaced with the new OS/2 Warp 4 Desktop. However, 
your previous Desktop is stored in a folder called Previous Desktop. 
You can open this Previous Desktop folder and drag and drop any of your 
previous icons and folders onto the new OS/2 Warp 4 Desktop. You may 
want to size the Previous Desktop after you open the folder so you can 
more easily manipulate the objects when you drag and drop them onto the 
new desktop.

Note: The default drag and drop operation for OS/2 Warp 4 is to create 
      a shadow. Therefore, by default, if you drag and drop icons
      from your Previous Desktop folder to the new Desktop, you will 
      create shadows. If you then delete the original icons from the 
      Previous Desktop folder, the shadows will also be
      deleted. To avoid this, either:

      * Press the Shift key as you drag and drop the icons, to perform 
        a move instead of creating a shadow, or

      * Change the Desktop Properties to default to a Move operation:
        - Right click on the Desktop
        - Select Properties
        - Select the Desktop tab
        - Click on Default Drop Operation Move
