Quote Don't hold down Shift for too long though! In XP, doing this turns on the "Sticky Keys" function.First THING I disable... Me too.... But much confusion can be caused for someone who doesn't know about it. Yet another stupid decision on M$s part. Quote It didn't look like the OP was wanting file shredding...? OP's post "When you delete something from the recycle bin in windows it doesn't get deleted. How can I delete all of that stuff ?" Yeh, well it's all in how the OP's query was interpreted. I interpreted it to mean that he KNOWS that deleting a file from the Recycler does not actually delete the file and wanted to know how that is achieved. Maybe he'll come back at us to clarify - maybe not. Yes, I see your point.Sticky Keys? Sticky Keys? Enlighten me - please. AllanSticky Keys is a feature meant for users who have difficulty holding down two or more keys at once. If a key combination such as CTL+S is needed, Sticky Keys will enable the user to press one key at a time instead of having to press them simultaneously.OK. Thank you. Allan |
