    Confirm delete option in Windows Explorer?


    Hi,

    I notice that when I delete a file in Windows Explorer, I don't get a confirmation prompt. Is there a way to turn that back on?

    I've had a bit of a look around, but I'm really surprised at how cut-down Explorer has become....in fact I might just call it Explorer Lite

    Thanks,
    Golden

    Right click the recycle bin and choose properties, put a check next to Display delete confirmation dialog. Apply and OK your way out.
