I never use shift+delete. Why should I? OTOH, deleting something from a disc or any strange volume seems to throw it away without a warning. At least on some Windowses. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Quote: 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. A friend of mine deleted a bunch of source doing that, he thought he was deleting the old stuff. Whoooo Oregon State University |

In windows, you should be able to recover the files even if you delete with shift+delete. There was the DOS undelete utitity (dunno if it still exists though) and you have the "Norton Protected Recycle Bin" which does the same (and which is quite handy sometime Another stupid thing which comes too my mind now, is that I (on our first PC (386)) typed something like type > autoexec.bat, I don't remember exactly. Anyway, the bad redirection caused autoexec.bat to be overwritten and I didn't even know anything about DOS back in those days ________________________________________ |

Johan: When I delete files, its only to free disk space, if I didnt want/need the file I wouldn't have it in the first place. -- |

You have to backup your files like going to the voting booth: Early and often! CD read-write drives & blank media are cheap enough for massive backups when the version directories get out of hand. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

I just got my dvd burner. Its nice to be able to burn 4.6gigs to a dvd in just under 8 minutes (at 16x), what would normally take me a while with cds (burning at 48x, but i have to sort the files to fit). One dvd held my entire 2004 download archive (with the isos i burned deleted) and January 2005's downloads. |

The same with my software projects. It's really the best thing you can do. |
