Just a while ago I was examining a folder in Windows 8, when I accidentally pressed DEL. Boom, deleted, without confrimation! Ok, it has just moved to the Recycle Bin, but I'd like to have a confirmation.
Probably Microsoft saw that Apple in OS X deletes files without a confirmation, so they thought: "hey, if they do that way, it means it's the right way!". Well, on OS X, you delete files with cmd+del, not by just pressing the del key, so the accidental deletion of files and folders is harder!
Fortunately, it's possible to enable the confirmation, by following those three easy steps:
- Right click on the Recycle Bin
- Select "Properties"
- Select the "Display delete confirmation dialog" checkbox
