[Dx4win] Accidental deletion of log?

[Kjell W. Strom]

Joe,

I just received notice of an available security update for
Windows XP. My computer is set not to accept automatic updates,
so I am safe, but how is JR's log? Around 12Z on a Wednesday
seems to be the standard time for MS updates.

Last year this procedure caused an infamous crash at Skype,
because so many connected computers cut the link and were reset
at the same time.

73,
Kjell, PB3SM - SM6CPI
