I mean the standard windows. I usually recommend to disable them, but the unexperienced user gets easily confused, and sometimes they don't know how to do it. Plus, most Windows users have been trained to ignore all text in messageboxes, because Windows (specially XP and onwards) is so annoying with silly messages that they get used to ignore/close everything. As a result, the messages are only a nuissance for them. This is based on my experience with a specific category of users. It might be different for others, of course. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
