I bet that happy folks over at steam don't come out and tell you that they are cataloging every thing on your hard drives do they?

This is scary, steam needs to be stopped, and shut down if this is the way they will conduct business. -- AMD 2500, 1024 MEG PC 3200, 180 GIG HDD, MSI KT4 Ultra Board, MSI GEFORCE 4 TI 4600 |

| Havn't you been paying attention to the news? Steam isn't gathering information on your stuff! It's simply the way that FAT32 file systems work when you create a new file but don't write anything in it. What was on your drive before will end up in the new "empty" file. |

| reply to mrchris NTFS works the same way too. I think it has something to do with whether or not you use NTFS' file and folder encryption (never bothered with it), but normally if you delete a file it just annotates the MFT and that's it. If NTFS really did overwrite each deleted file with zeroes then I'd have to wait several minutes for it to delete my 1GB source recordings of Enterprise and StarGate SG1. -- /* You are not expected to understand this */ |
