Shift + Recycle Bin
I just found out that if you hold shift while dragging an item to the recycle bin, it automatically gets deleted. I want to know if there's a way to disable this. I don't want to accidently do this

There probably is away in the registry but I don't know what it is. You could make a folder and place it on the desktop and put discarded files in it instead of the recycle bin. That's all the recycle bin is a folder with a few specific behavorial differences.

Pressing the shift+delete button bypasses the recycle bin as does shift+drag and drop to the recycle bin.
Best way to disable it is don`t press the shift button while deleting something. PS...BTW...there`s a gazillion freeware recovery tools that work great for accidently deleted files. Here`s a good one I`ve used. http://home.arcor.de/christian_grau/rescue/index.html Last edited by KHT; 01-22-2003 at 08:41 AM. |
