It's the late 90s. My mother suddenly discovers File Explorer on her refurbished commodity Wintel box and decides that all this messy clutter has to go. Never mind that the drive was 80% empty when delivered and I didn't expect her to come close to filling it before it was replaced. Fortunately I had already backed up everything that looked important or interesting.

One day she calls from the office, "I don't need this 'Windows' any more, do I?"

"What? Wait! Don't do anything!" I walk in and she's got C:/Windows highlighted and the cursor is hovering over "Delete".

"I already have Windows installed on this computer, so I don't need this any more, do I?" Spoken more as a statement than a question. It took several minutes of forced calm explanation to get her to accept that this "Windows" directory WAS the Windows that's installed on the machine. She still wasn't happy that she could see it in File Explorer, though. So untidy!
