Last time that I had this happen I found that Avast antivirus had 
grabbed it and locked it away. Had to add exceptions in Avast for the 
DX4WIN directory. Since then, no repeat of the country.dat file 
disappearance. I keep a backup copy just in case...

I sure hope these antivirus programs are solving a lot more problems in 
the background, than they have caused me to have to deal with. Because 
they are a big pain sometimes.
