For example WebMaker has some custom pictures for its buttons, and after the program has terminated the picture files are still locked. I don't know exactly if this is a fault of MUI or if it is WebMakers fault, but I noticed such errors very often when MUI programs used own pictures. Why should I stop it, just when I begin hating it? Thore
