Kicked to desktop, config deleted

I just got kicked to the desktop, and all my movement keys gone. Not reset to default just deleted.
This is the first time this has ever happened in however long I have been playing BF1942 and I can't thing of any reason except maybe hacking or something.

Anyone know why this could have happened?

kicked to desktop - thats an euphemism for a crash - ill take it? as far i know, config files getting re-written at each "correct" game shutdown. that crash might left you in a state of no *.con-files at all. and microsoft is known to let old time game gamers to jump through some hoops. backup the *.con files next time? or switch to an operating system that doesnt do shady things behind your back.

What if the user needs the OS to do shady things on their behalf?

use a legit fileset all will be ok
