Hi Phil,
a few days ago you said that you can abort any process immediately on
Windows. Today I had to remove a few files and directories at work
using the Windows Exploder.
A dialog box popped up saying "preparing for deletion...". A quarter
of an hour later I pressed the [cancel] button. Nothing happened.
Then I pressed the cancel button in the title bar. No immediate
response either.
A few minutes later the message changed to "aborting...". After the
lunch break there was still the same message and I had to shut down
the system with brute force. Removing the stuff with Cygwin took only
a few seconds.
I mention this because I encountered this problem just a few days
after you said that such things work perfectly on Windows. And I
encounter such or similar problems every day.
Regards,
Reinhard
