How to reset user/password
Is there a way to force FFS to reset existing user/password and prompt for a new one?

Last Sync Date
Last sync date updates correctly when you run backup. Yet, I go into the app a few minutes later and the updated dates have gone back to the previous Last Sync date (ie. 7 days ago).

Writing files to Recycle Bin
I have used FreeFileSync for quite a while without issue. However, I notice that it is almost daily dumping tons of files to the recycle bin. All of my backups are "Mirror". Why is the tool writing files to the bin?

Re: Source folder not found
I am not seeing any additional warning messages. The fact remains that I can navigate without any issue to these source folders but for some reason FreeFileSync cannot. I have had the messages before and at some point they go away and the file save completes successfully. This time I cannot get past ...

Interactive Services Detection error
I am getting this message/error on Win 7 and FreeFileSync is what's causing it. Message says that the program is not fully compatible with Windows. Can you review and issue a fix? Thx.
