Please put it all back exactly as it was - with the exception of the one
file that you _should_ delete: the file called
"!Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks.!Boot" which has a filetype of "Desktop". If that
is there, delete it.
Everything else has a reason for being there and should not be touched
unless you have a compelling reason!!
And no, don't lock stuff because that will just break the configuration
plugins when, in 12 months time, you want to adjust your keyboard
auto-repeat rate or something.
Thanks,
Steve
