A former co-worker threatened to trademark the subject phrase and charge us all a nickel every time we were working on our machines and said it out loud. He would have retired a bazillionaire by now.
Today's Windows Mystery involves all of the development shortcuts on our desktop breaking. All were pointed to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro\..." that continued on and pointed to a specific config file we use to start the app, and a start directory. All the shortcuts changed to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Foxpro\..." without the "(X86)" in the path name. The files are installed and working on the x86 path. My co-worker insists "I didn't do anything" which I believe, unlike when our clients say it. A morning of VFP programming, surfing, and some RDP for client support. No downloads, no installs, no updates. Everything else seems to be running fine. Q1: Can anyone explain why the desktop decided to re-write the shortcuts to the wrong path? Q2: Can we keep it from happening again? P.S. I don't expect a lot of replies at this date and hour. Wishing a happy New Year to you and yours: good health, prosperity and security.
