    Toolbar options

    I keep an empty folder on my desktop to hold files I have downloaded
    until I can work on them or for temporary storage etc. With xp this
    folder's toolbar had an "X" icon for deleting any highlighted files.
    For some reason I can't find this in Vista.
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks

    Hello WWP,

    The X toolbar item is no longer available in Vista. Instead you will need to either right click and click on Delete or press the "Delete" key after highlighting the files to delete them to the Recycle Bin.

    Sorry,
    Shawn

    Wouldn't it be simpler if you moved those files to " Draft " folder ?

    I'm getting lazier than even I thought and just didn't want to do the
    extra click.
