Had you ever emailed me about that? I don't recall
your name. Can't fix what I don't know about. The most
prominent user error that I know of now (from an installation
standpoint) is that Winzip is not configured to "respect
the internal folder hierarchy". Sadly, it seems that to
be "usable", I *must* use a .exe builder/installer, I *must*
install myself into the registry, and I *must* insert myself
into the Start menu, which is all things I absolutely abhor,
especially since AmphetaDesk doesn't need any installation,
nor does it insert anything into the registry,
