Shawn, Thanks for this. Replace Delete with Disk Cleanup worked perfectly for me in Vista Home Premium SP1 (32 bit). I have many times in the past stupidly deleted the recycle bin icon when I meant only to empty it, so your hack is much appreciated!

Only tried the one since it was moderately useful to me.

I really would just like the delete option removed with nothing else added. Unless I could replace it with a "winning lottery numbers generator" option. That would come in handy. Anything else just makes a large pain-in-the-ass into a small pain-in-the-ass.

Thank you for your reply.

Just run this reg file (trust me!) the del will be gone.

How do you get delete back if someone wanted to?

Hi Gate1975mlm,

Welcome to Visa Forums.

You would just use the REG download in step 4 to restore the default Delete.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
