Usability screwups

Out of the box VMWare has confirmation dialogs that pop up when you want to do something destructive, like reverting your environment back to a previous state.

At some point in the past I managed to turn off this setting (it's a checkbox in the dialog that comes up) by accident, but there's nothing in the UI that makes it easy to turn this setting back on. I remember being mildly annoyed by that before and thinking that I needed to look up how to do that.

I guess I should have looked harder for the setting to turn that back on because I've just managed to revert an environment that had a bunch of important stuff on it by accidentally clicking revert. This was due to the top portion of the VMWare window doing the hide/unhide thing from being in it's mostly fullscreen view. So instead of clicking in the top of the window to change focus out of VMWare, I managed to click the Revert button and POOF!. Gone. Instant outburst of extremely choice words (the kids are asleep though - just the dog to hear me)

Thankfully most of what I blew away is in my head (the rest was already in version control), so it's not the end of the world. But, it's definitely the end of my tomorrow to try reproduce it all. Ugh.

I know, I know - I'm the one the did it, but why, oh why did someone make it so friggin easy to do?
