system registry

[kwokwai]

As a project, I have to experience my first download using BT.

So, I went to Download dot com, and downloaded a software, around 2 MB.

To start with the BT job, I chose a muisc track, and within 1 minute, the download was finished. That's faster than I can imagine.
Although the download was already finished, but I couldn't find the downloaded file, so I just looked around and finally saw it inside the 'Downloads' folder.
Out of curiosity, I double click another folder 'Torrents', and see there were two files inside it: 'xxx.torrent' and 'xxx.xml'.
As the download was finished, I thought I could delete them, so I just did it.

Things seemed didn't run smooth then. When I tried to clear the history of the IE browser, the 'Blue Screen of Death' appeared. I didn't know what's happened, but it was 3am, I was really tired, so I just turned off the PC.

When I turned the PC on again, the System said 'Registry finds an error, and has to restart the PC to restore the file'.
Luckily, after the restart of the system, nothing's wrong again.

I don't know if the system registry error was due to Virus or the BT software.

Please help if you could!

Although I don't use BT, it sounds like it needs the xml file to work, and maybe deleting it caused the program to crash. When it crashed, it may have corrupted a reg file it needed.
Just a wild guess here...since it could be almost anything.

I think it should be the main reason causing the problem.
I've never thought that a XML file could be so important to the program.

Thanks bear!

I have just learnt my lesson!
