How do I delete without having to confirm each time?

[joeAgain------]

In Win98SE, whenever I right click on an item and chose delete, I always get a confirmation popup asking me if I really want to do that.

How do I set my computer to just send the deleted item to the recycle bin, without bothering me with the confirmation step everytime?

(I know I can't post this in more than one place, but I'd also like to know how to do that in NT and W2K)

thank you

Win98se...right click on the recycle bin, go to properties. On first tab it should say global. Remove the checkmark from the box toward the bottom that says display delete confirmation dialog box. (drives me nuts to!)
As for NT and W2K, I have no clue...maybe someone else will!

THANKS, JustMe2.

that sounds great, but it isn't working for me on NT, although it looks as you say, and looks to me like it should work.

I'm at work now on NT. I see the checkbox in Global and have unchecked it. But it is still asking me to confirm my deletes.

Do I need to reboot, or something for it to take affect?

Well, joeAgain. I have no clue there. I've got 3 machines here and 1 at work, that all I've done is remove that checkmark, and I've never seen that dialog box since. They are all win98se...don't know if that makes any difference.

OK, I guess I had some kind of little glitch, or something.

I checked it, clicked apply....then went back in and Unchecked it and clicked apply...and now it works.

Cool!

Thanks alot! I've always hated that double step process for deleting stuff. If I goof-up, I can just go into the recycle bin and restore it.

Great!

Thanks again

You're very welcome.
Now I know that it also works in NT..thank you!
And I'm with you...if I hit delete, I just want it to delete! Not ask me if I'm sure!
