To prevent Windows from prompting you "Are you sure?" when you delete files:
1. Right-click the Recycle Bin icon and then click Properties.
2. Click the Global tab in the dialog box, and then clear the Display delete confirmation dialog checkbox.
3. Click Apply and then click OK.
Tip: Some of us who have been using computers for a long time pretty much know when we delete something we can recover it whether or not it goes into the recycle bin. If you're one of those who've been around computers awhile and know the CTRL + Z (undelete) command you really don't need to send everything you delete to the recycle bin anyway
Did you know that behind the scenes Windows keeps log files of things going on with your computer? No! No! It's not spying on you. There's a lot of information you can use if you're having problem with your computer or a certain application.
Click on Start, then Control Panel, and then Computer Management
Under "System Tools" (in Computer Management) click "Event Viewer". Depending on which applications you have installed on your machine, you'll find several items listed in the menu under "Event Viewer". Feel free to browse around in there and take a look. You can't hurt anything and you might find some interesting things have been going on that you didn't even know about.
There may or may not be (on your computer) useful information that can be helpful to resolve a software problem on your computer. Regardless, at least now you know that these event logs exist and where to find them. Their usefulness depends on what software you have installed and the kinds of logs that are kept. But learning new things about your computer is what makes computers fun. We hope you've learned something here you didn't know before!
