Accidentally installed Magic workbench...

Synthesize Me · 05 November 2011, 15:22

Hey everybody,

I did something really stupid and installed magic workbench on Amiga OS 3.9... I know it was stupid, I'm not even sure what I was thinking, it was really late at night so maybe my reasoning was off

Anyway, my question now is how do I get rid of it?

Unfortunately there is no way to get rid of MagicWB other than to restore the old icons from a backup or from the OS 3.9 CD.

It might work to blindly copy all icons from the OS 3.9 CD to the system partition by something like this:

Code:

cd AmigaOS3.9:Emergency-Boot
list all files p=#?.info lformat="copy *"%p%n*" *"sys:%p%n*"" >ram:aaa
execute ram:aaa

Hi Thomas!

Thanks for the response! I really like your guide to installing os 3.9 through winuae by the way!
I'll give your suggestion a try, but I'm starting to think about maybe just reinstalling everything since there isn't all that much stuff I would need to back up. We'll see what happens, like I said I'll definitely try your suggestion first.

Thanks again for your time and help!
