Hi folks,

I would like to write a script that allows me to delete a file without confirming that I really want to delete this file. The file should then be moved to recycler as usual.
XP offers just possibilities to a) bypass the confirmation constantly, or b) delete files without moving to recycler.

My intention is to create a quicklaunch button that deletes marked files to recycler.
If I instead use my DEL on keyboard I wish to confirm. So I need a routine bypassing the confirmation. 'FileRecycle' would be good. But how do I detect which files have been selected to delete?
Could you help?

Thanks in adavance.

On Windows XP you can press Shift+Del to delete a file without it going to the recycle bin. Hereis website that explains what happens. Of course you have to highlight or select the file first then press shift+del.

If I am not mistaken what membersound wants is to be able, when desired, to skip the delete confirmation message, which still appears even if you use Shift+Del (unless ofc if you disable it in the reycle bin options).


Here is a recent thread that dealt with a more or less similar issue (passing file paths to a script, by using the clipboard and parsing the file paths):

Hopefully that should provide you with a working example.

lilalurl is right. I am looking for to skip confirmation if desired. Thanks for the example, think I will go ahead with that.

Wait for the confirmation window and then press "No"
