I think this is the problems with GUI's. They don't encourage people to read (and understand!) documentation. Most Windows admins that I have encountered belong to the
"point-and-click-until-it-does-what-you-want" school. This explains why they find it so hard to document what they've done; ultimately, they're not entirely sure.

I'm not against GUI's, incidentally, I just believe that one should learn the command-line stuff first. This means that you understand what is going on beneath the bonnet ("hood", in America ;)) and you can still do your job if, for some reason, the GUI is unavailable.
