Sleepless

I am stunned, speechless and dumbfounded that Junior Member Nickxup wanted to delete a crucial part of his O/S, if he had succeeded it would have rendered his PC useless (until and if he could reformat his HD).

This reminds me of a time I used to work with a young (very newbie) woman who arbitrarily decided that has she had not put the squiggly file names in Word Perfect 5.1 for DOS so she was going to delete them. She did and immediately destroyed the programme, which eventually had to be re-installed.

Now, some years later, I hear of users wanting to delete the Windows directory from their C:\ drive so they can have more space (I believe someone in the building where I worked did this).

Will people (newbies) ever learn?
