"delete" on the tool bar in Windows Explorer

When I am in windows explorer and want to delete a file from a certain
folder, I have no "delete" button across the top tool bar. I have
organize, share with, burn and new folder but no "delete." I know I can
right click to delete the file but I am use to the delete selection on the
top tool bar. How can I add this? Thanks.

I don't know of any way to add it, but it's been moved to the "Organize"
drop-down menu. IMHO it's easier to right-click and delete from there.

I don't know how you can add it but you could use the delete key on your
keyboard.

You cannot add it and there never was a delete button in\on Windows Explorer
Toolbar.

Highlight the file that you need to delete and then use the Delete key on your
keyboard or right click on it and select Delete from the dropdown menu

Use the "Delete" key.

What version of Windows are you using?

I use the Win 7 Home Version and when I open Explorer and right click on
a file, a menu opens up and Delete is 4th from the bottom.

You will find Delete under Organize, File, and the Context menu (right
click on selection), as well as using the Delete key. If you must have
it directly located on the "tool bar" you will need a replacement for
Windows Explorer.

Classic Shell

http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/

has two components: one that creates a "classic shell" menu (you can
still access the W7 menu) and one that creates a tool bar on Windows
Explorer that has the big red X. You can install either or both parts.

I have been using this for a month and love it.

The toolbar was the last feature from XP that I was missing

Is there some reason not to just tap the Delete key on your keyboard?

If you mean there was never a delete button in Windows 7's version of
Windows Explorer, then fine, but in previous versions of Windows from
95 to XP there has always been a delete button in Windows Explorer.
Not sure about Vista as I don't have a Vista system around to look at.

As for not being able to add it, that's one of the things ClassicShell
does. Someone else already posted the link in this thread.

I guess some people take mousing to the extreme. :-)

Maybe highlighting the file, then hitting the DEL key may do it.

Yes, that will also delete it. For me, since I'm usually using the mouse to
highlight a file, it's more efficient to use the mouse again to delete the
file, rather than take my hand off the mouse, tap the DEL key and then take
up the mouse again.

What'cha doing with the other hand?

Seriously though, what is more efficient will vary form user to user. For
me, leaving the mouse where it is and hitting delete, especially if I'm
doing a big clean-up can be better as it is less moving the mouse back and
forth.
