In 6.15 i still can't remove a log called "ip.log" smile

To reproduce:
1. Make a log file called "ip.log"
2. Open log-dialog
3. Try to remove "ip.log"
4. It's still there...

Same with shadow.log, nul.log and various other filenames, i think "shadow", "ip", and other words are "system devices", mirc refuses to /write or /remove them even though windows allows it.

This used to work fine until i switched to 6.15:

Code:
on 1:CONNECT:{
  write ip.log $fulldate - $host  ( $+ $ip $+ )
} }


Code:
//echo $findfile($mircdir,ip.log,1) 

will say
E:\Programme\mIRC\ip.log

Code:
//echo $exists($findfile($mircdir,ip.log,1))

will say
$false

As it worked with previous versions of mirc under the same version of Windows do not asume it's due to OS limitations.

I also think mirc should not find the file in the first place if it's going to defy it's existance after all.

And it should, in my opinion, be more talkative as to the reason why it won't use that file.
That is, instead of claiming to be unable to open it it might want to say "file does not exist" "insufficient rights for <operation>" or "I don't do system devices".

Might prove helpful smile
