[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 843788, member: 61892"] All the outrage is caused by the notion, that it used to be enabled by default. Luckily I run cleanup with pre-applied settings, otherwise I would be angry too, my most important files (used daily) are in the Downloads, since it is the only folder, which can be setup as the
