Coresay, SigTerm. Please end this name calling immediately. If you discuss, please use arguments.

I was born in Germany and have lived my whole live here. I do know what a Nazi is. May be you should learn a little bit of history before calling other people Nazis, just for demanding a prove for your claims (the same thing that you are doing).

BTW, I noticed you registered in Dec 2009 and have racked-up 2462 posts... that's 117 posts per month!!! That's insane, LOL.
What is so insane about having many posts? I try to help people on this forums. Therefore my post count is high. As you eventually have recognized, posts count only in technical forums, not in the general forum. That means I have at least 2400 posts where I tried to help other people, the rest should be posts from threads where I needed help. What is so wrong about that?

May be some people here are here for helping other people, not for babbling in the general forum. As I have said in a previous post, if you are so knowledgeable use your knowledge to help on this forum.

Hey Tobi, just stay out of my conversations unless you have anything worthwhile to contribute. Get over it and find yourself a real job.
You don't know me, you don't know nothing about my job, Just another insulting post lacking any prove or evidence for what you are talking about.
By the way, another report, I don't think that you have any right to call anyone a Nazi (this I would even consider to be offensive against the victims of the Nazi-regime).
Have a nice day. Think before writing.

P.S.: The best way to not see my comments in any thread would be adding me to your ignore list.

And I notice that the counters are inaccurate and don't actually count every post. Do you share your account with other Microsoft shills? How much does MS pay you to post your misinformation here?
Wow, 117 post per month? From somebody with 59 posts in less than a week....

I dont think that you are accurate, or believable calling SigTerm and TobiSGD "shrills", and we've ended up with a highly laughable situation. Where a person who AFAICT makes at least the majority of posts here from win7, calling people who are using a linux distro paid microsoft stooges.

I'd guess I'll end up with a shrill tag in your mind because I've even pointed that out...Or maybe I wont?

Not THAT Oceania... the other one.

What's up with you people??? Do you think I am lying about hating MS??? Please tell me what you are getting at. State it flat out please because I'm at a total loss.

I own Windows.
I report my bad experiences.
People tell me they don't believe my reviews because I own Windows.

????!!!

(1 out of 4 boxes uses Windows)


Edit: Yes, many posts from me LATELY. This is just a spurt of activity. It will not continue for YEARS. It's "shill", not shrill. It's the only explanation I can think of to explain the hypersensitivity towards MS criticisms... esp on a Linux forum. You do know there are paid shills all over the Internet forums. Just ask any moderator.

I have no ideological hatred towards Microsoft, and Windows is a decent operating system; I'm just sort of agnostic when it comes to this debate. I actually kinda liked Windows XP.

I use Linux because I like it more. That's it.

And it looks and functions exactly like Windows, right?

Well, at least we've finally identified the crux of the issue... your inability to understand what the business world is like. Maybe after you get your first real job, it'll start to make sense.

You're right, I really should be nicer to ignorant trolls. It's a personal failing that I have a low tolerance for that sort of thing, but I'm working on it.

For the record, since you've identified me as some kind of "shill," I hate Windows. I just like to keep my criticisms of it within the realm of claims I can actually understand.

Unfortunately, too many people take their digital thingies too seriously. It's almost frightening to read some of the articles out there, which lay out the dominion plain in such simple terms, as if switching to Linux is going to cure cancer or expose new fossil fuel resources. Relax. It's only software.

Too many slackers here who think everything is a joke. Read through my posts, all I've been arguing for is one small feature to be added into the explorer.exe and the Microsoft shills here act like I am asking for the impossible and call me a Windows basher. This is shear lunacy. This is like a bad Monty Python skit.

@Coresay Dunno why you direct that reply towards me but i'll just say that i'm not slacker and i don't care that much since i know(not think) that any problem isn't in OS but in PEBKAC(before Linux i used Windows for quite long time and i didn't encounter any kind of "win sux" problems just ones with user fault) same goes for anything else in life..so don't waste time on me - i have other stuff in life priorities list and computer is just one hobby..i just wanted remind that Linux isn't superior and Windows isn't superior and MAC or any other OS either - everything has + and -. Depends on use. All these people should just ask themselves if they really hate Windows or just hate fact it costs money or simply hate beeing mainstream people, but hey guess what nowadays mainstream user is one who dislikes windows so - wanted get rid of wolf ran into bear..sometimes i wonder what would happen if Windows wouldn't exist - would Linux be born then? It was kinda born because someone wanted something else from windows..maybe i'm wrong but still good stuff to think about..
P.S.Ontopic: To delete folder just pick it, press Delete and done. If it doesn't allow it then just download free small software called Unlocker or restart PC and done. Also for Windows there is nice Task Manager similar software called ProccessExplorer which is handy for processes. Both easy to get from Google. Don't blame someone else for curve_hands.dll

To be honest I worked with M$ and believe me the kind of crap we tell customers why some software does not work as expected or why is windows slow or why windows is superior to every other OS makes my concience scream at me. No matter what anyone says this is what I have concluded - M$ makes money *nixes makes technology. I do not think anyone here can dispute the statement.

Linux was born because Linus Torvalds wanted a free Unix alternative for his PC. Had nothing to do with Windows.

Yeah, Linux has more MINIX influence than Windows/DOS.
