The old Windows 3.x File Manager was polite enough to ask if you really wanted to do that 1 GByte directory tree move you just happened to start with a mouse drag.

.NET framework is nice indeed. I like it, and I am a Delphi "integralist". Unfortunately, someone in MS decided that interface name prefix ’I’ is good but class name prefix (’T’ or ’C’) it is not. This has unpleasant consequences. It decreases code clarity, e.g.Informations
