Beginner Quick-tip

Confirmation dialog boxes in Windows are like the best thing after sliced bread just because they give you a ‘second chance’. However, if you are smart enough and consider yourself as the ‘one who can do no wrong’, you might want to turn off confirmation dialog boxes that appear when you delete a file/folder. So here’s how you can save an extra click.

1) Right click on ‘Recycle Bin’ and select ‘Properties’.

2) In the window that appears, un-check ‘Display delete confirmation dialog’.
