Pay attention to Windows 7 update KB980408
If you don't permit Windows 7 updates to install without your
individual approval, be sure to pay attention to KB980408, which is
rolling out right now. You probably want this one.
Titled "April 2010 stability and reliability update," most of the
items fixed by the update seem relatively innocuous, until you get to
this gem at the end of the list:
"You are not warned when you delete more than 1000 files at the same
time. Then, the files are deleted permanently and are not moved to the
Recycle Bin."
Ouch. Given how easy it is in Windows Explorer to delete entire folder paths,
this is a non-trivial situation!
