INIFIX

INIFIX V1.0 by Paul Ratcliffe (c) Sep. 2002 These are a pair of VIO utilities which clean up the OS/2 system INI files. They remove annoying extra items from objects' Create Another menus, and cleanup the Startup folders. The programs are freeware and as such: USE OF THESE PROGRAMS IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. WARNING These programs are potentially very dangerous to the health of your WPS. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUPS OF YOUR OS2.INI AND OS2SYS.INI FILES BEFORE YOU RUN THEM IN DELETE MODE. INITEMPS Sometimes, you get templates from foreign desktops or dead objects which clutter up your objects' Create Another menu. This utility displays and optionally deletes entries from the list of template objects on the system that is used to generate the menu. The program takes command line arguments as follows: INITEMPS /A INITEMPS /F [name] [/D] The /A switch means display Abstract object templates. The /F switch means display File System object templates. The name field is used to display only those entries which begin with that name. The /D switch deletes all entries that are displayed. INISTART This utility displays and optionally deletes entries from the list of startup folders. Normally, only startup folders that are on your boot/desktop drive should be in the list. The program takes command line arguments as follows: INISTART [name] [/D] The name field is used to display only those entries which begin with that name. The /D switch deletes all entries that are displayed. HISTORY Version 1.0 14-9-02 Initial release. OTHER These programs were developed under Warp 4 using VisualAge C++ 3.0 for OS/2.
