Oh btw if you want to allow for your own deletions, ask for a password instead of an answer dialog. Exit to top if the password does not match. But if you are trying to prevent someone from maliciously damaging your application, this won't work because they would have access to your scripts in the IDE and could clearly discern your password! I can think of ways to prevent this too, but it begins to get convoluted, at which point I begin to go back and ask why users would have access to the project in the IDE.
