Does anyone know a reg tweak or whatever to get rid of the incredibly annoying warning u get when u delete a shortcut, you know, the one that tells u that ur not actually uninstalling the app, just deleteing its shortcut (Wow really Bill?)

thanks
 
Hmm, I'm not really sure. As far as the warning goes, I know far too many people who would think that by deleting the icon on their desktop they would be deleting the program. They probably put it in after realizing how many people don't know what they're doing. This is probably wrong, but you could turn off the delete confirmation dialog in general and see if that gets rid of the dialog for deleting the program shortcut.

Right click the recycle bin, properties. Uncheck "Display delete confirmation dialog"

Good luck.
 
Good idea, never even thought of trying that, thanks ill give it a whirl

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
