And I so totally agree with you on putting stuff you actually need in %TEMP%. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Many unhappy people have followed your original rule only to find out some time later that they couldn't actually delete what they thought they could...
