Is M$ using the stats for marketing? Probably so. Do I use the M$ tool for images? Rarely ever. Is this an OS thing? Probably not and more an app thing but let's not go there because we don't know so we will blame the OS all the time. On Mon, Jan 18, 2016 at 8:36 AM, Kevin Cully

Ubuntu was only sending search history and it was easily opted out. Next version won't default to sending Amazon search history even. Microsoft seems to be sending a lot more information on many more items, to a complex network of obfuscated domain names. Not good. On 01/17/2016 06:01 AM,

Hello everyone, I've tracked this down a little further. Using the SysInternals Process Monitor program, VFP is looking for the FOXUSER.DBF. In the process, it looks in the current folder, then every folder in the PATH. There bad path does not appear in the captured data. Having a valid

Some anti-virus clients, like Norton, look at the file to see what it really is and deletes those that it feels like might be able to do damage. I'd put it in dropbox, box or a website and download it from there. Unless you can remote into their box and transfer it that way.

Sure, they fixed it after a user reported the bug, but don't you think that negative increments would have been checked in testing? I don't know if I would have found it but I hope I would, and an ms team (?) certainly should have, after all it's a pretty small application. On 17/01/2016
