I have a bunch of files (thousands) I need to wade through and delete.
Where do I disable "confirm file deletion" so that I can speed up the
process.
Thanks.

you can always hold shift while pressing delete while deleting the files.

Well ... isn't that interesting! I hadn't heard of using the shift for that
purpose (use it for selecting and for other things, but not that). I'll
give it a try and see how it goes.
Thanks.

Hmmm ... didn't work for me. While holding the shift key, I pressed delete
(with a file selected). I was prompted "are you sure". Thanks anyway ...
it was certainly worth a try!

Okay, I was wrong, I forgot which key it was but it is something and
delete to bypass the delete conformation function
