I just had a thought: you can sort-of protect the files from being deleted. The principle is simple: a file that is in use cannot be deleted, i.e. if all your .WIN files are open during a QPC session you can't delete them during that session. A file gets opened as soon as you make any operation on that drive, for example a simple DIR command. If the file is not considered as "removable" (which it only is if you explicitly say so or if the file is located on a network or removable drive) then the file will stay open as long as QPC runs. All delete attempts will result in an "in use" error. Marcel
