Well, I didn't have one with objects except for a command prompt until I
used orc. Now I don't have the originally installed one or the
loved-by-Mark one.

Unimaint doesn't seem to want to let me do that. Now that I have some
objects to play with, I took at look at my unimaint backups. They appear
to make backups of several different elements of your system files. I
looked at the backup instructions in the backup command file, and it
looked like a separate zip was supposed to be made of my desktop.
However, it wasn't there in my backup! I went back several generations,
and finally came up one several months old that had it. I told unimaint
to restore that desktop directory, and while it was an old one, and not
up-to date, it looks like I'm back in business!

Thanks for your suggestion that got me thinking and back into exploration
mode!
