Hi

Is there any way to protect folders from accidental erasure?

A bit like removing the tab from a VHS video cassette?

Thanx

Right-click your Recycle Bin, choose properties and check the option '<b>Display delete confirmation dialog</b>'. It will pop up Confirmation box before WinXP deletes it.
Another way is setting permission to control access to it. If you are using WinXP Pro, you need to disable <b>Simple file sharing</b> first (It's in Folder options\View) so it can display Security tab on its Properties. Then you can uncheck <b>Full control</b> in your user name's permission.
In WinXP Home, you need to boot in Safe mode in order to do that.

:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.
