Wow. Very... uh... interesting user instructions here. Guess this is for all the "hackers" who think they can just delete folders to save disk space... -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

Heh, took me a minute to realize what I was looking at. The best one I heard was a friend of mine who had installed some old windows 95 game on the C:\My Documents folder, and not in it's own directory*. Then, she went to use the uninstaller and it deleted all her personal files as well. Ouch! *That is, the .exe and data files were right in C:\My Documents __________________________________________________ |

I've seen people install games into C:\. Imagine the pain of trying to clear that mess up. -----sig: |

I'm sorry, I must be stupid or something, but I don't get it. What's so special about that screenshot? Could someone explain it to me? (I never used that google thingy so that's probably why I have no diea what this is about) -- |

It has filenames that, when sorted by name, form a warning message to the user. --- |

Ick. Tile view. And if I saw a message like that I'd more or less have to try deleting the files to see what happened... -- |

CTRL+C... and I mean quick... you should really verify what you type before hitting enter. I won't say much because even though it's never happened to me yet I'm not going to say it couldn't happen to me too ___________________________________ |

A friend of mine was going to reinstall Linux, backuped all important files and tried to remove everything from root directory. Fortunately, he interrupted this process after some seconds after reminding that he had Windows disks mounted. ________ |

Command line leets live dangerously. I guess I wouldn't have nerves for that. That's why I use Windows or Mac OS and a proper IDE. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Nah, I get hit with the same problem in windows, SHIFT+DELETE (or is it ctrl+delete?) to delete stuff and not send them to the recycle bin. -- |

It's more obvious in the list view. I'm using that in all my programs from now on
