Luckily I've only beein using POV since December so this was the only real
loss for me,
but at the time I seriously thought about kicking something :)

I also did a custom uninstall for the very reason I didn't want my
directories erased, I'm paranoid that way (a lot of good it did me), I can't
remember seing them listed when I selected those to be erased though.

Next time I'll copy everything to my ZIP Drive before I do anything like
this.
