Win Xp Tips

How to Deleting Selected Files or Folders;

If you want certain files and folders gone right now, with no confirmation dialog boxes, Recycle Bins, or Undo buttons, hold down the SHIFT key while you drag the files and folders onto the Recycle Bin icon. (Of course, you should be very sure you want the files and folders gone, and that you haven't dragged along any extra objects by accident.)

Tips: Holding down the SHIFT key while you click the Delete button (or press the DELETE key) is almost as quick: you have to click Yes in a confirmation dialog box, but the objects are deleted for real, not just sent to the Recycle Bin.



Eliminating Confirmation Dialog Boxes

To eliminate the confirmation dialog box when you send something to the Recycle Bin

Right-click the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop, and choose Properties from the menu. Or, select the Recycle Bin in a Folder or Windows Explorer window and click the Properties button on the toolbar. You see the Properties dialog box of the Recycle Bin.

From the Global tab of the Properties dialog box, uncheck the box labeled Display Delete Confirmation Dialog,
Click OK.

Even after carrying out these steps, deleting something from the Recycle Bin still requires a confirmation. If you decide later that you've made the deletion process too easy, you can reinstitute Delete Confirmation Dialog; repeat the preceding steps, but check the check box in step 2.



How to Turning Off the Recycle Bin |



Now if you want to stop sending deleted files to the Recycle Bin.

* You need to right-click the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop, and choose Properties from the shortcut menu. You will see the Properties dialog box of the Recycle Bin.

* On the Global tab of the Properties dialog box (or on the tab corresponding to the particular drive whose Recycle Bin you are turning off, if the Configure Drives Independently option is chosen on the Global tab), check the box labeled Do Not Move Files To The Recycle Bin. Remove Files Immediately When Deleted.
* Click OK.

* After you complete this procedure, files you delete from your hard drive are gone, just as are files deleted from floppy drives. Files that were already in the Recycle Bin, however, remain there until you empty the Recycle Bin, delete them, restore them, or move them to another folder.

You can turn the Recycle Bin back on by following the same procedure, but unchecking the check box.

Don't Forget: If you turn off the Recycle Bin, don't forget you did. The Recycle Bin remains off until you turn it on again. A better choice might be to make your Recycle Bin smaller, but to leave it on.
