Context ?

There are a number of refreshes that do exactly what the words stands for.

Thats a bad analogy, hurting any point you're trying to make.

Even if it truly "deletes what you had setup" than what you would be left 
with would be a newbuild, ready-to-live-in house, including rugs, furniture, 
washing machine and all the other conveniences.

... like, in Firefox, having created a new profile.

But a question : did you *really* run something called "refresh" - which 
obviously would make changes - without checking what its supposed to do 
and/or making a backup first ?

Rudy Wieser
