Hellooo...<br>
<br>
I regularly apply for jobs, and regularly see where the advertiser asks for<br>
a CV in the form of a file, does not place a restriction on the type of<br>
file it is asking for. The file selection window opens, and I can select<br>
any file from my desktop (the place where I keep my CV as well as other<br>
files - ones I definitely don't want to send).<br>
<br>
i don't think I have ever sent a file I definitely don't want to send, but<br>
sometimes I have had to catch myself before I did. Short of removing the<br>
worrying file from my desktop, is there any other way I can protect a file<br>
on my desktop from being accidentally sent in this way?<br>

A desktop is like a pin board.<br>
Murphy says: Don't leave anything on the desktop, which you don't want to share with others.<br>
<br>
I keep, without exception, anything of even remote importance in folders.<br>
