Blue Screen

Today, I got blue screen on my computer for the first time.

I did it the following way. I wanted to archive some pictures and divide this archive into files of 180 Mb. Instead, I set the part file size to 180 bytes. As I discovered the mistake, I had already 80000 of these files. The zipper hanged itself. So did the Explorer. Finally, my old computer made his last "peep" and faded away.

After restarting, I found Explorer unable to delete such a great number of files. I used cmd to do the dirty work... Now I feel good about my computer crisis handling ability.
