Solved delete option doesn't appear

When I choose a file to delete in my documents, when I right clic, the delete option doesn't appear. I want to clear out a memory stick and the same thing happens. How do I actuate 'delete

I don't know why you can't find Delete in the context menu, but pressing Delete on the keyboard does just the same. Shift + Delete to permanently delete.

you can add it back with this FileMenu Tools

im sure there will be a better way buit i dont know it

Thanks for you attention.

I tried that but it had no effect. Is there any way to edit the activity window that comes up when you right clic on a file. Someone else suggests a file edit menu but it was for Explorer not Windows Vista

The windows box has the following options: Open, Edit, New,Print,Open with, Norton Antivirus,Send to, copy, create shortcut and properties. It doensn't have cut or delete

I clicked on that but it says that is for Explorer, not Windows Vista. Is there something further that I should do to take it to Vista?

Explorer is Windows' interface. When you're looking at your Documents folder, you're doing it in an Explorer window.

Hey, VaguelyRapt, Thanks for your help. when I clicked FileMenue Toolsn and clic delete but no move to recycle bin, it says you have to remove write protection but under properties it shows that read only is no clicked

Try the info here:

Add Delete Folder Contents to the Windows Context Menu - Windows - Lifehacker

Have you got a write protection button on the stick?

Is it happening for all the files in your computer like desktop files, C drive files? or only for the files in your memory stick?

The delete option doesn't appear in the right clic window on all my files.

When I try to even add a file on my memory stick (that doesn't have a write protect button) it says that the memory stick is protected and I can't write new files or delete old files from it.

How do you elemininate write protect"? Thanks

Right-click on your memory stick, and in properties look for an option to enable/disable writes protection.

It's working. Thanks for the help
