Deletion is hungry - HELP!!!

[tiago]

Each time I press "delete" a file is gone for good, no prompts, no recycle bin.
File operations/turn off delete confirmation is unticked. It should be ticked to behave like that.
Shift + del gives me a prompt as it should.
Where else do I have to look after a solution for this?

[admin]

Could it be that you have assigned DEL to Nuke? In that case right-click the NUke toolbar button and tick Confirm. Or remove that assignment.

Miscellaneous:
Delete (Skip Locked, No Recycle) - Ctrl+Shift+Del
Nuke - [NONE]
File:
Delete - Del

How does Explorer behave?

[nas8e9]

Do you have deletes backgrounded? (Configuration > File Operations > Background Processing > Apply To.) If so, the Windows setting Recycle Bin Properties > Display delete confirmation dialog, comes into play. Assuming it's disabled, enabling should bring back the prompt in XYplorer.

The same.

Deletion is not backgrounded.
But recycled props (as per admin question) have "show a dialog box confirm on exclusion" (or something like that, my OS wording is not english) unticked and that may be the source problem.
*And "do not move files to recycle bin" is ticked.

My suggestion here is XY having settings completely apart from WE/system's.

Apparently not possible. When you disable the delete confirmation dialog in Windows, then there is no flag (for SHFileOperation API) to make it show AFAIK.

See CORRECTION not a xy problem

Have also been bitten by the fact that "turn off delete confirmation" implies you have NO UNDO NO recycle bin

Can you reconsider or invent something that will give us a safety net.

the least would be to put an explicit warning in the popup

arrgh

PS: going to see PRINCE tonight hahaahhahahaa KISSS

CORRECTION:
the files where on a truecrypt Volume "Mounted as Removable Medium" wich according to the truecrypt manual states:

Windows is prevented from automatically creating the 'Recycled' and/or the 'System Volume Information' folders on TrueCrypt volumes (in Windows, these folders are used by the Recycle Bin and System Restore features).

so its not a XY problem at all

PRINCE! Not bad, though I'd prefer AC/DC

Rock and roll ain't noise pollution, after all

Yesterday at a party I had an incredible Rock'n'Roll revelation: an 8-year old boy showed me the riff of Highway to Hell in the correct (and pretty bizarre) original Angus Young way. An angel messenger from the gods. I still feel enriched by this exquisite knowledge.
