delete recent items

hi,

i runned some optimization programs on my vista system, and i think it changed something in the registry.

Now, when i delete an item from recent items list on startup menu (right click -> delete), it displays "are you sure you want to move this item to the recycle bin? ". by clicking "yes", it moves the corresponding shortcut of this item into recycle bin.

before i runned this optimation, when i delete an item from recent items list, there is no this delete confirmation dialog, and it removes this item from recent items list without moving the shortcut to recycle bin. (for regular file delete operations, it asks for this confirmation and move files to recycle bin as usual. the only difference is about the deletion on recent items list.)

is there a way to fix this problem? i don't want this delete confirmation dialog because i am only deleting a shortcut (not the exact file.)

thanks!

well i dont think that the confirmation shud trouble you that much, but of u still want to that, i can give you a method but it might not ask confirmation again for any deletion.
if u agree, i'll post how to later.

It is my opinion that some of those programs should not be used. Use system restore, go back to before the change, then use our resources and knowledge before using software that will change the OS.

My advice is turn on System Restore, it is there for your protection. Use our forum before making any other changes. We have an extensive tutorial library and knowledgable members, who are here to help you get the best performance from your OS.

Follow these steps to disable the Delete confirmation box:

1. Right click on your Recycle Bin on the desktop and select Properties.
2. On the bottom of the Recycle Bin Properties window, uncheck Display delete confirmation dialog.
3. Hit OK and you are finished.

Keep in mind that you will also no longer get a delete confirmation when you delete files that are not protected by UAC. That will allow you to delete a file without any confirmation at all. If you make a mistake and delete a file by accident, just restore it from the Recycle bin. After all, that is what it is for!
