It can be helped both by reducing the likelihood of the event, as

This suggestion comes historically from Delphi literature, but
fpc/Lazarus developers should never forget that they're smarter than
Delphi people. ;-)
I didn't suggest anything. I wrote 'deal with such cases'. How, this I
leave up to the programmer.
I wasn't speaking of you. You didn't. But too many examples show it that
way. Programmers are influenced by examples.
But I will say this: trying to format the user's harddrive or attempt
to fry his monitor is usually the wrong approach ;)
Creating a .config/ directory is somehow more in the natural programming
practice, than formatting user's hard drive, or frying his monitor.
We'll leave those practice to Redmond developers....
