Is there a way to disable the 'confirm file delete' window? I'd like XP to
continue to put the document in the recycle bin, but I don't want to confirm
each time.

Rightclick the Recycle Bi, select Properties and uncheck "Display
delete confirmation dialog"

Shift/delete deletes totally and permanently, not putting the deleted file
in the recycle bin. If the delete confirmation is turned on and
Shift/Delete is done then the Yes response will dump the file. If delete
confirmation is turned OFF when Shift/Delete is done then the file will be
dumped without recycle bin insertion or any questions asked.

If you've read the rest of this post then you'll know why you shouldn't
ask a question on a newsgroup until you've checked all the obvious
places yourself and used google or your own favorite search engine to
look for an answery. Had the misinformation come first, you would
probably have been disappointed. The answer to that question and many
others is right there in front of you.

Before using ANY solution from a newsgroup, unless you know the poster
well and even then, you should always verify the information elsewhere
to be sure the person isn't talking from where there's no light to be
seen. In most, not all, cases verifying something elsewhere is a decent
indicator the information is good or bad. There are those here who will
give you not only bad information but will send you to fake websites and
other nefarious things.
In this case it was easy to verify by watching the results; but it
won't often be that way.

Hello,

You got it wrong, I said to press and hold Shift and then click 'Yes to All'
when the popup appears on whether you are sure you want to delete all. Not
Shift-Delete before the popup appears, as I know that will permanently
delete the files.
