I strongly disagree. Inacceptable is if an installer deletes my preferences without asking for confirmation. The preferences can well contain several hours of work (e. g. if you have added some file formats and converters). Either leave the preferences alone if they exist already, or use the popup box, but don't delete user files without confirmation. Georg
