[Nb Build 200204150100, jdk1.4.0-b92]

Run the Destoryer.java (attachement). It only call
and close
popup menu on the Filesystems node using Robot
Dispatching Model.

It causes you cannot start most W2k aplications.

Problem is caused by this line:
        pmo.pressKey(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE);

PopupMenuOperator was created when robot mode was 
on, so it uses robot for reproducing.

So, robot presses right mouse button somewhere, and 
do not releases it.

Since robot uses system events, windows remember 
that right button was pushed.

I assure you, is any reproducing tool using system 
events will cause the same problem.

BTW, it's enough to just exit from NB, and 
everything returns back to normal.

Speaking theoretically, robot may cases even disk 
formatting by opening DOS prompt and typing 
"format c:" :)
