If you put "hcp://system/DFS/uplddrvinfo.htm?file://c:\test\*" for a URL in IE it should erase what's under c:\test.

Oh, that's a feature... like the old "rm -rf /' game in Linux. Watch the disk access LED light up real bright.

Yeah! Enter "rm -f /" into your shell prompt and watch those pretty little lights go! ;-)

Do you know what happens when you execute "rm -rf /" as root? I've done it twice before reinstalling the system. Under System V/R2 it will delete a bunch of files and eventually starting printing "/bin/mkdir: not found". Under Linux it does this. (That message is encoded EUC/JP).
