That's exactly the reason why I press shift while selecting the delete. It will not put in the trash bin, but throw it away immediately. That's the way I often 'uninstall' programs, becuase usually the standard windows installers are not woking correct. Just check your windows registry and you will see lots of entries caused by programs you previously unistalled with the uninstall function. Or how often did you get questions by Windows uninstallers saying: "mmhh, I think I could delete this file? Should I? Leaving you in the place of deciding if you still need some fucking files, you've never heard of. > Deleting a directory is not the normal way of removing a Windows > application - running the uninstaller is.

Running an uninstaller would be in the case you put everything in the .ini file jsut a .bat file saying "del Freenet/*.*, rd Freenet". You have to admit that this is much more simpler than an uninstaller. > Incidentally, the correct place for a .INI file is in the Windows > directory. Bahh, tell me one reason to put it in the bloated WINDOWS directory, where nobody ever dares to delete something in fear of destroying important files. Why not keep things clean and simple and put them all in one directory? Sebastian P.S. Sorry I won't contribute to the Windows registry thread anymore, just couldn't hold me back... :-) _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
