Windows 7 question.

[Lore]

Have there ever been any recorded cases of Windows 7 (or Vista) deleting all of the EXE's off of a flash drive?

I'd like to know before I begin crusading against the system admin at my school.

I think the reason for your question would be appreciated before I do your research for you.

Quoted from the BRoom:

Ugh, I ****ing hate the system admin at my school. He literally set up all the computers to delete all EXEs that aren't on the C drive, so when I plugged up my flash drive, me and my many, many important portable programs got a nasty surprise.

I ****ing hate this guy.

Essentially, all my exe's on my flash drive got deleted without my permission (almost destruction of property), and I'd like to confirm that the OS itself wouldn't do this before I complain to the higher-ups. This thing has happened to several people that I know as well.

 

[Zankoku]

No, that shouldn't happen from the OS itself.

Alright, thanks.

I also just got what was essentially confirmation that there IS a system to delete EXEs. This is reaaaaaally pissing me off; I shouldn't have to buy another flash drive just for school.

Windows 7 is not programmed to do that, it's either nasty virus or your admin.
