I have lost _so_ much files by not shutting down properly. Its not just under windows, any time you shut down with the HDD in use can cause damage (Even under DOS). Modern OSes - windows, linux, solaris etc have a proper shut down option, so use it.

Even if you refuse to bother with it a least wait for the drive to stop writing, ive seen people who switch off during game-saving, which is just daft. *Plus it was my save game and I lost *months* of progress*
