I would have thought that one simple line of code would
solve the accidental delete problem. When the Save Change
Dialogue Box pops up and the user clicks NO, a "~" is
added to the front of the file name and it is sent to the
recycle bin. That way if the user really did not intend to
delete this file it would be simple just to open the
recycle bin and either replace the existing file or give
it a new name.

What are you talking about? Please quote at least some of the post you
are replying to. A large proportion of users here do NOT use the web

Thank you.
 
I had asked the following question - When you close a
file, a dialog box pops up asking you if you want to save
the changes YES NO CANCEL. If you press NO by
accident all the work you have done is lost in an instant.
I am sure that hundreds of thousands of man hours of work
are lost this way. In my old edition of Windows I could
use Dr. Watson to recover this data. How do I do this in
Windows XP?

As I continued to thinking about the problem a possible
solution occurred to me so I decided to propose it to
Carey Frish whom I guessed was a Microsoft tech. So I
added the comment - I would have thought that one simple
line of code would solve the accidental delete problem.
When the "Save Change" Dialogue Box pops up and the user
clicks NO, why not add a "~" to the front of the file name
and send it to the recycle bin. That way if the user
really did not intend to delete this file it would be
simple just to open the file from the recycle bin and save
it.
Just a thought.
