Get Rid of Delete Confirmation (from www.pcmech.com)

As we all know, when you delete a file in Windows, you get asked to confirm that you wish to delete the file and put it into the Recycle Bin. But, with the Recycle Bin, the confirmation is a bit redundant because if you make a mistake, you just go to the Recycle Bin and get it back again. You can get rid of the confirmation quite easily. To do so, right-click on the Recycle Bin icon and choose Properties. Then, un-check the option which says "Display Delete Confirmation dialog".


Enjoy!

Noticed something when deleting items.

If I delete from my desktop the file is permenantly deleted. Doesn't go into the recycle bin. If I delete from a folder such as DataCAD Sessions it goes into the recycle bin. I looked around for a setting to turn this off, but can't seem to locate it.

Any Suggestions?
