I forgot that. Also using "Roaming" profiles, server and more than one workstation on NT 4.0 could delete all the users files!
Ever since about 2000 (Windows NT 4.0, XP, 2000, Win 7, Win 10) I kept all the files I created in a separate directory on the root of a drive with my permissions and ownership.
So the list is missing a broad "IT configuration issues". Covers MS updates, inept restores, remote management gone wrong etc.
