So you're saying files are disappearing on your hard drive?  Since I don't know
of any code that even attempts to remove files on a local drive (even
uninstalling themes leaves them on the drive).

I'd try virus scanning/HDD diags, something's not right on your system.  Maybe
try installing to a new directory and running Firebird from there, see if
anything changes.

-> INVALID
