    Right, my Recycle Bin had some files in it, so I emptied it, but the graphic still showed it was full, so I opened it and there was nothing, I click on 'Empty The Recycle Bin' and it comes up with a message: "Are you sure you want to delete 'WINDOWS'?" So I click Cancel, go into the Recycle Bin and click on Restore Items, nothing happens so I click Empty again and the same message comes up. So it's sitting there, part of me wants to do and see what happens but part of me is worried ****less as to what will happen.

    I'd move my important files to a different HDD or partition and try rebooting.

    I dunno, something about that is pretty funny to me, delete WINDOWS!, I really wonder what would've happened? I guess Bill's team didn't think that one through.

    I think the best anti-Windows campaign is seeng the "security and stability" of Windows in action. I just came from my younger brother's house, where I worked on his roomate's PC a bit. The NTFS filesystem was something like 90% fragmented (no joke), and while virus scans turned up nilch, the NT kernel's CRC was off but quite a bit from what it should have been... rootkit! :x: What to do to fix it? Reformat/reinstall...

    "Bow before me, for I am root."

    I'm not sure if that was a question or not but if you're looking for one it's on ThinkGeek.com.

    My current wish list has this one at the top!

    Dunno about that, depending on the potential employer, this shirt might actually work in your favour. :good:
