Freaky Windowblinds Error

- made muh teeth itch..

from WinCustomize Forums

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..
