Where is the punchline IN MY JOKE.
The main idea was to help.
Why, because someone mentioned the use of the unix command rm.
Fine, I have had the same problem but with approx. 18000+ leftover files.
In the poosting I replied to there was NO evidence of a NT box involved.
Or is it only windoze users have problems?
However why should I care abot other fellow users/developers that have problems.
Why should I mention things that might solve problems for others when the result is
a slap in the face. And get myself mentioned in angry postings about how I' doing the
JAMES
project a disservice.
Maybe the correct answer was "use the explorer" or "start menu->run->cmd and type 'del
*' in the inbox".
That would be a joke.
Furthermore unix commands exists on NT. I use cygwin alot under Win98/NT/2k.
