I'm reminded of Arthur Dent:
"What happens if I press this switch?"
Ford Prefect: "I wouldn't."
Arthur: "Oh, a sign lit up saying 'Please Don't Press this button again!'"
Sometimes the computer has to be made smarter than the User. Unfortunately, Microsoft Windows takes such hand holding to an extreme.
