When I request to delete a file in windows explorer or IE or Word or anywhere
it deletes it without asking "are you sure".

It has asked if I am sure for years until I reinstalling operating system.
Now this function does not work.

How do I activate this function?

Using Windows XP.

As always thank YOU.

Click to expand...

Check the Recycle Bin properties (right click the Recycle Bin, select
Properties from the context menu).

Make sure there is a check in the box for: Display delete confirmation
dialog.
