That certainly puts the kabosh on 10 for me... That is an extremely
useful feature also as a way to tell the size of a folder. I put it in
the trash, press "empty," and get the figure, then take it out again.
Haven't lost one yet, but have gotten very helpful info.
However, my vote for most pernicious feature is a program where if you
select some copy to perform a function (eg removing paragraph returns from
e-mail download) the evil digiton asks (demands?) if it should continue
through the rest of the file. If I wanted that I would have selected
"all" in the first place, but if my attention wavers for a nanosecond,
I'll press the highlighted "yes" button and instantly lose all formatting.
