PQ> Oh, I didn't say that the thought of it reminded me of an old   
    PQ> nightmare.  Back in the early 90s at work, we had a copy of OS/2   
    PQ> v2.xx to play with.  That's what we were doing with it, just   
    PQ> playing.  It had a kitten chasing the (mouse) cursor game on it,   
    PQ> which seemed fairly innocuous.     
      
   i don't remember that as a game... it might have been at that time but later   
   there was similar that was like the comet cursor stuff... i've been using an   
   "eyes" tool for a long time that looks at the mouse cursor so i can more   
   easily find it if it is not obvious where it is...   
      
    PQ> However a couple of blokes, just for laughs, used to delight in    
    PQ> leaving the game in a full-screen situation that, to the    
    PQ> unfamiliar, left the PC in such a condition as to require a power    
    PQ> off/on cycle.  Well, lo and behold, the friggin' game came up    
    PQ> full-screen again... every reboot (an OS/2 'feature' that ensured    
    PQ> that the last-run program would again re-run on boot).   
      
   it is a good thing at times... i use it for some programs and not others...   
      
    PQ> So, the only solution (it seemed) was a re-install.  For them    
    PQ> blokes, this was even better fun/entertainment than the game   
    PQ> itself: see Paul swear flaming oaths, and re-install OS/2.   
      
   hahaha... i hear that... all that was really needed was to adjust your   
   config.sys' "AUTOSTART" line and remove "PROGRAMS" from it...   
      
     REM SET AUTOSTART=PROGRAMS,TASKLIST,FOLDERS,CONNECTIONS,LAUNCHPAD   
     SET AUTOSTART=TASKLIST,FOLDERS,LAUNCHPAD
