{Make sure those files are gone} Throw something into the Recycle Bin and it's gone for good. Wrong. Okay, empty the Recycle Bin and it'll never be seen again. Wrong. WHAT!? Those files and folders can still be recovered by certain third party utilities. To truly remove data from existence, start using the right tool (like Eraser). Calling upon powerful encryption algorithms, your deleted data will be unrecoverable when passed through this program.

{Finish file and folder paths} Command line convenience has been usurped by the graphical user interface. While more appealing to the eyeballs, GUIs can often be gooey. When prompted to open or save a file, you'll notice the dialog box (by default) isn't very helpful. You may already know the path, but there's no easy way to retrieve that info. Ya know AutoComplete in IE? How about gaining that functionality throughout Windows? Yep. I thought so.

{Buy low and sell high surreptitiously} You've drawn a loan, but it's pay back time. Thirty turns is all you have to pay of the loan shark and make as much money as possible. Market rules apply here: you gotta spend money to make money. And don't think that external events will always benefit your character; just as life has its ups and downs, so will you. Play it once or a thousand times; you can always do better than you did in previous games.
