At least Apple is up front about not giving you root access unless you really know what the hell your doing and can access it...but this only serves to remind me why I switched four years ago...

Lol - me too. It's happened to me earlier on. But it seems to be some stupid error on Windows part (as always) - coz its a false report. When that happened to me (not once but 3-4 times) - I popped open the recycle bin and didn't find any windows folder in it. I safely emptied the trash and it didn't harm my windows folder even in the slightest !! laugh.gif

Wow, I know people hated Windows for obvious reasons, but this is proof that even Windows hates itself. laugh.gif

Kind of reminds me of the hacker who deleted his own hard drive...

That's (not) exactly why I don't use the recycle bin. No need to ever empty it. I just start up Total Commander and it skips the recycle bin. This just proves how buggy Windows is.

Yeah - I can relate to that - I tried to access root in Apple (on a friends computer ) to get a feel for it and I just couldn't figure it out. Apple should be dished out to all corporate staff that constantly manage to get their Windows machines absolutely and totally ruined. More research on the Apple Mac required.

Actually you can make Windows delete, skipping the recycle bin. i don't have the exact commands to make it default to that right now, oh wait. duh! right click on recycle bin, and you get the option to delete files straight. Total commander also comes with the recycle bin as an option. You can choose whether or not you want it to stick the in the bin. Not that i'm such a great fan of windows. Although, I must point out that unlike earlier (pre-2000) versions of windows, XP doesn't let you delete system files. if you really want to, of course you can, but for an average user, they can't totally mess it up unintentionally.

C:\> del (filename) is still indeed an evil command... But the forgotten C:\>deltree (folder name) was my preferred one for .bat files.

    51 MB/s for the second. Since yesterday all the operations on the first HDD (360 GB) have become
    extremely slow. A ~700 MB file copy operation on the same drive which used to take less than a
