REMOVE ANNOYING DELETE CONFIRMATION MESSAGES

[Ace]

            TAKEN AT YOUR OWN RISK

Although not strictly a performance tweak I love this fix as it makes my machine 'feel' faster. I hate the annoying 'are you sure?' messages that XP displays, especially if I have to use a laptop touchpad to close them. To remove these messages:

1. Right-click on the 'Recycle Bin' on the desktop and then click 'Properties'

2. Clear the 'Display Delete Confirmation Dialog' check box and click 'Ok'

If you do accidently delete a file don't worry as all is not lost. Just go to your Recycle Bin and 'Restore' the file.

Another addition:

If you are sure you want to delete a file permenantly, then you can use

shift+delete

to delete the file permenantly


It will not go into the recycle bin. Don't make a habit though.. Some of my friends have deleted things accidently (and permenantly) on more than one occasion ... though usually, those are movies and songs which might not be in your case.

Cheers
