| | Recycle Bin insists on confirmation Why does Recycle Bin always ask for confirmation before deleting files. I have the box checked in properties for it not to, but it makes no difference. I enabled the dialog box and again disabled it. Vista apparently insists on double checking, so why even have the property box there? |

You are deleting from a folder or drive with certain NTFS permissions that the OS is asking you to confirm, most probably. ss. |

| | Re: Recycle Bin insists on confirmation The check box refers to a file or folder you are deleting example: I delete a file on the desktop. The box refers to when you delte the file from the desktop not the point of empting the recycle bin.

| | Re: Recycle Bin insists on confirmation Yes, I think you are correct about that, now that i think about it, but in XP, if you emptied the recycle bin, you didn't get a confirmation since you had already done that to put it in the recycle bin. Then again, maybe you did. In Vista, everything is second guessed, which gets a little annoying. Thanks.
