A lot of people have been posting asking about the Windows XP file
deletion story that has been circulating in the news the last couple of
days. This is an issue that has been known since August 15, 2002. Here
is a link to the original Bugtraq post on the subject:

That should help to answer everyone's questions on the subject.
