Hi, I'm running into a weird situation. I SHIFT+DELETE a pdf file that I just created with OpenOffice. 1 second later, it's back. Same file date as before. It seems like some mischievous undelete function is taking pleasure in making my life miserable. Any idea how this can happen? When I look at the resource monitor I just see "System" writing the bytes. I always knew SHIFT+DEL as really delete. Perhaps it has changed in Windows 7 to Just pretend to delete ? Kind regards, Marc
