Warning about Delete in config. Panel

Sandra hit Delete in the config Panel by mistake and it wiped out everything as if she hit a complete TVP reset button. This wiped out all her custom panels, settings -- leaving her TVP as if she had just bought it today. Resetting her PC settings to yesterday's (automatic backup) salavaged most of her losses, including her *.ini file, but I think this mistake should be able to happen this easily. She now has backed up all her Application Data too, which she hadn't done before. I just though it wouldn't hurt to post this here so others could be very careful with the Delete button.

Oh no! Which is the config panel? The one that opens at start up?

Whoa - That's a good tip! Sorry to hear Sandra found out about it the way she did. But thanks so much for sharing it with us!

When I deleted configs in Mirage, I would just go into my Applications Data\Mirage directory and delete the folder for the config that I no longer wanted.
