| | Do not use WLPG to delete 'empty' folders Just a gentle reminder for everyone to not use WLPG to delete folders. Y'see, WLPG doesn't show you any files which it can't display, so, if you see that a folder is empty -- 'No items match your search' -- you might be tempted to remove that folder. Don't! That folder may contain all sorts of other non-picture files, and WLPG won't tell you about them; it will just send them to the Recycle Bin. What's worse is that, if you hold down Shift, it will bypass the Recycyle Bin. What's *even worse* is that it will ignore any 'Read Only' flags on files within that folder! Yes, WLPG will delete files which you have tried to protect by making them 'Read Only'. So, never use WLPG to delete folders. -- -blj- |
