Typical. This is exactly what I expected you to say.

Sure. You will have full control over what gets deleted. Just don't
delete anything you are unsure about.

If you look at the paths contained in the:

"Object handle to non-locateable path found"

messages you will recognize most of them as stuff you deleted long ago.

I don't know your work style, but if you tend to access files from the
drives object or the desktop and delete them from the command line, this
type of error tends to happen. The command line does not tell the WPS
that the file or directory is deleted and you end up with dangling
references in the .INI's. Sometimes the WPS goofs on its own and creates
the dangling references. In and of themselves, these references are not a
problem. However, if there are too many of them, they start chewing up
limited WPS resources and the WPS becomes unstable.
