How to not get a notice asking you to verify a delete

I have Windows XP Pro, SP2. Every time I delete something, before the delete is complete, I get a little dialog box asking me to verify the delete. Is there a way to not have this verification step? royeo

It sounds like you must be a novice user? You can, but I don't recommend it. You 
may regret it sometime, when you change your mind and want to Undelete something. 

Recycle bin - Properties "display delete confirmation diaglog."  Rather than doing 
that, you can bypass the Recycle Bin, by holding down the Shift key as you delete.

It's a bit irritating I know. But one day you'll be glad of it.
