   That reminds me of a chap I used to work with many years ago.  There wasn't   
   much happening so he decided to clear out some files from the work computer   
   that he'd "inherited".  He discovered a couple of strange hidden files in   
   the root of C: and, after several attempts, managed to delete them.  When he   
   rebooted, the computer wouldn't play ball.  He'd deleted msdos.sys and   
   io.sys!   
      
   I won't divulge Warren Cox's name because that would be indiscrete...
