--- Quote from: noob ---xp did the same to me. you know the scandick at startup. well it ran and instead of asking me weather i want it to make changes,  it just did them. do when it says "The directory C:/dickuments and settings/noob has serious errors. Convert folder to file?" and it just selects yes and turns 30 gig, including all my college work into a 3k file, i get pretty pissed off. why would you want to convert a folder into a file? they are totally different.

TAR does the same thing. Useful for packing source code.

Except with TAR, you can get the files out again after it's finished.
