Cool that will help, thanks


There other reasons too (i do not exact reasons behind it).
For example one of my programs used Task.class to read a folder each time i
clicked the tray icon to open the window.
I found every time i clicked the tray a new dir appeared in gambas.1000 ,
Even tried using Quit in the task process, it did not remove the dir

Been about 1.5 hrs since my last reboot and there's 17 obsolete folders.
