"delete" on the tool bar in Windows Explorer

It's in the Folder options, View pane, near the bottom, "Use check boxes...". -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

"Bob I" wrote in message ... 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. And where would someone get the replacement? xplorer² http://www.zabkat.com/ Been using it for years and it's so much better than Windows Explorer! -- Put the big cat out to reach me. |

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. Is there some reason not to just tap the Delete key on your keyboard? Click the unwanted file. Move hand from mouse to Del key. Move hand back to mouse, chose another file. Move hand from mouse to Del key.... repeat, repeat, repeat..... CTRL+click,click,click,click,delete. |
