Delete Confirmation


Recommended Posts

I used RegShot to capture the registry change when I disabled the Delete Confirmation on the Recycle Bin, but for some odd reason that seemed to Enable the Classic Desktop as well. Very strange. Does anyone know if this is normal behavior? Also, is this specific registry key different for every install or does it use the same set of numbers each time?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-861567501-448539723-839522115-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShellState"="24 00 00 00 3C 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 0D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00"

"ShellState"="24 00 00 00 3C 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 0D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00"

Replace HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-861567501-448539723-839522115-500 with HKEY_CURRENT_USER

I did your suggestion and changed this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-861567501-448539723-839522115-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShellState"="24 00 00 00 3C 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 0D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00"

to this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShellState"="24 00 00 00 3C 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 0D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00"

but all it did was set the dekstop and Start Menu to Classic, the delete confirmation is still enabled. Any other ideas?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket]

"NukeOnDelete"=dword:00000001

;-Disable Delete Confirmation (Recycle Bin)[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"ShellState"=hex:24,00,00,00,37,88,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ 01,00,00,00,0d,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00

I just tested this and it works.

my install4.inf has a policy to disable it, and my website has a link to a website with group policies to control that. Just disable the prompt by policy. My friends don't mind, i install r-studio that undeletes data so if they accidently delete something they just use r-studio.

Ok, I will try this out as I see you have a backslash in your hex string.  I did not see that in mine.  I will let you know the resuts tomorrow.  Thanks for the assistance

If a line of data needs to wrap to the next line, the backslash (\) character is used to indicate a continuation on the following line. If you look closely, the registry code you posted is not exactly the same.

Good Luck,

Jim

Thanks jrzycrim

That works

EDIT I take that back it changed start menu to old style and dumped the icons back on desktop. It did turn off Display Delete Confirmation though. I guess you need to get it the way you want and export key then.
