actually I had a similar wtf myself ..
see I work in montreal (we're bilingual so that means english and french) and I had to hack around a php application that creates a .csv file that could be imported into excel. problem is that some of the users have their locale settings in french, some in english. in english the field separator is a comma (hece comma-separated-variables) but in french it's a semi-colon. so some of the people wouldn't be able to open the .csv file properly ..
the non-wtf fix is to check the browser's locale and separate your fields accordingly, the other way is to add another entry to the tech support faq that requires users to change their locale settings.
This happened to me a while ago (say 3-4 weeks) so I dunno if this still happens.
Well it was about when I had decided to re-install Windows XP because well things were not working anymore (example I had no access to the IExplorer configuration menu because I didn't have enough permissions, and I was the computer administrator). I usually don't like the full format technique since I'd loose 200G of stuff on the HDD and no I don't partition because I dont' like to. So what I usually end up doing is boot off a win98 recovery floppy disk and go erase windows/ and program files/ and keep the rest of the directories (thus obtaining an almost format).
Well the win98 bootdisk doesn't work so well anymore with an NTFS harddrive, so I decided to use BartPE. Took me about 30 min to make one, I boot everything's going fine .. untill I try to remove the flash player (macromedia) that comes with windows.
This file is NOT deletable. I mean really is not deletable. Same happened to some random X.0 file in my cygwin installation. I could not erase them. I tried 3 different "surefire delete programs" none of them worked. I checked for any filelocks, nothing. But there's just NO way to erase it. Everytime it complains about the file beeing in use / permissions / write protected / blah blah.
I even tried my ubuntu live cd, but mountntfs wouldn't work, even with --force.
The file in question was C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash8b.ocx so yeah.. it drove me nuts for about 3 days, I still don't know WTF.
I just installed Windowds on top of it and it seems to have worked .. bah.
