I am sorry you feel that way. All I was trying to do was give you a way to get you playlists back. If you don't want help then don't post your problems here.
I was not defending MTU, but trying to point you to a solution. Hoster has been fixed, but there is no way for MTU to help you recover those lost files.
I have been working with computers for 40 years and most of the problems do come right back to the operating system either not installed right or not beening updated with fixes Microsoft puts out. Yes sometimes 3rd party programs do have bugs and cause problems, but Hoster cannot delete files and has no commands or utilities to do so. They did fix the problem and it was an operating system bug that they had to rewrite code to get around.
I am not sure why you say the fix is hard to get. It is still available for download and installs with your existing registration code with no need for intervention from MTU.
