Freaky Windowblinds Error
- made muh teeth itch..
Tuesday, December 21, 2010 by Phoon | Discussion: Object Desktop
Thought I would share a very strange thing that just happend to me with Windowblinds.
I was 1 version behind on and had not updated on Impulse yet.
Downloaded Avante blind. As it was extracting, all of the files in the blind appeared on my ( redirected ) desktop.
BTW, I HATES Icons on my desktop... but I digress...
Being a noble sport about the whole thing I promptly hit CTRL-A then SHIFT-DEL and presto! All those nasty desktop icons are gone (even checked with my peripheral vision to be certain..)
Here is where my teeth started to itch... It deleted the c:\users\public\Public Documents\Stardock and skincast folders as well.
I've since updated with Impulse and now have a freshly stocked folder with the default themes. Will try downloading another blind after the reboot.
( Win7 Ultimate x64, IE8 )

After a reinstall/update through impulse it all works again. Just a freak incident..

Dang, Phoon, hate to hear that, my friend. I hope my blind didn't muck it up....haven't had any bad feedback on it.
