Microsoft – please fire the imbecile who came up with the Desktop Cleanup Wizard.

Beta testers liked this? Really?

I finally got fed-up today, too. It’s fascinating that simply by typing the phrase “There are unused icons on your desktop” into Google, up comes THIS page, as a first choice: a clear indication that this “feature” annoys everybody!

Sweet. You’re a lifesaver. Finally got fed up with MS’s brilliant idea to create a popup where the X doesn’t behave like every other X in windows. If I clicked X, I don’t wanna see it anymore. Go away! Having to open and click cancel annoys the crap out of me.

As already stated, probably the most irritating feature of XP. Whoever thought that this could be a good idea? Anyway, many thanks for the brilliant tip, and I’ll disable this rubbish on all my computers.
