I want to disable the Fle Delete Confirmation and when I go to the Recycle
Bin Properties the option to uncheck this action is grayed out. Is there any
other way I can get rid of this option? Thank you!

I don't have a problem with emptying the recycle bin. I want to get rid of
the pop up asking me if I am sure I want to delete file. Thank you anyway.

According to the help/documentation, if the "Do not move files to the
Recycle Bin" is checked, the "Display delete confirmation dialogue" is
supposed to be greyed out.

On my XP SP3 system, my Display delete confirmation checkbox is always
available no matter what the other option is! Using conventional
methods, I can't grey it out even by trying.

What is your situation with your Do not move files checkbox and if you
change it can you then change the Display delete confirmation checkbox?

 

[Cleo]

That is what the problem is. The option to uncheck the box where it say
"disable the file delete confirmation dialog" is grayed out and I can't do
anything.

Understood, but what is the status (checked or unchecked) of the "Do
not move files to the
Recycle Bin" option and have you tried that box both ways to see if it
changes the "Display delete confirmation dialogue" box?

Create then merge this registry file to remove the
Recycle Bin's delete confirmation prompt.

1. Copy below and paste into Notepad.

----------copy-inside-only----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,37,a8,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
01,00,00,00,0d,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00

----------copy-inside-only----------

2. Save-as RecycleBin.reg (or any name + .reg)

3. Double-click or right-click and merge into the registry.

I did as you instructed and when I right clicked on it I get a message saying
that "This is not a registry file....You can only import binary registry
files from within the registry editor." I must have not did it
correctly...any suggestions?

I tried again and I got it to work this time, but option in Recycle Bin
properties to uncheck box is still grayed out. So I guess I will have to
keep getting that annoying question unless you come up with something new to
try!! Thank you very much for trying to help me.

You never answered the question from Jose:

What is the status (checked or unchecked) of the "Do not move files to
the
Recycle Bin" option.

Have you tried that box both ways to see if it changes the "Display
delete confirmation dialogue" box?

If you answer the question, you *might* receive another suggestion if
one is needed.

I assume that you have XP Pro instead of XP Home?

IIRC, there might be a Group Policy which, if enabled, can grey-out
that box. I'm not in front of my XP Pro machine right now, but try
the following:

Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc

Check all the trees and see if there is something in there that would
override and force the grayed box. Domain policies can also override
GPedit if you connect your machine to a domain.

HTH,
John

Sounds good to me, if the other option is not the issue.

IF XP Pro, run gpedit.msc:

Select User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows
Components | Windows Explorer.

Find the Do Not Move Deleted Files To The Recycle Bin entry.

Change Not Configured or Disabled to Enabled to make the checkbox
unavailable.


Fora all you XP Home users, you can also modify this behavior by
editing the registry. Follow these steps:


Open the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Policies\Explorer.

Add a DWORD value named ConfirmFileDelete, and give it a value of 1 to
disable the checkbox,
remove the key or set it to 0 to enable the checkbox.

IF XP Pro, run gpedit.msc:

Select User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows
Components | Windows Explorer.

Find the Do Not Move Deleted Files To The Recycle Bin entry.

Actually, it's probably the

"Display confirmation dialog when deleting files"

entry (in the same path).

I cannot make the instructions any clearer.
Just follow the very simple, easy steps.
