Recycle Bin insists on confirmation

[SteveC]

Why does Recycle Bin always ask for confirmation before deleting files. I have the box checked in properties for it not to, but it makes no difference. I enabled the dialog box and again disabled it. Vista apparently insists on double checking, so why even have the property box there?

You are deleting from a folder or drive with certain NTFS permissions that
the OS is asking you to confirm, most probably.

The check box refers to a file or folder you are deleting example: I delete
a file on the desktop. The box refers to when you delte the file from the
desktop not the point of empting the recycle bin. I belive this is what
you asked

Yes, I think you are correct about that, now that i think about it, but in XP, if you emptied the recycle bin, you didn't get a confirmation since you had already done that to put it in the recycle bin. Then again, maybe you did. In Vista, everything is second guessed, which gets a little annoying. Thanks.
