[QUOTE="Rik., post: 1358642, member: 233110"] Hi chas. How is that easier than Windows? If I delete something in Windows, it asks "Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle Bin?" That's the same as Mac's 'Move to Trash' What Windows offers, is to be able to press 'Shift' at the same time as delete, this then gives you the option to permanently delete the file. If fact, that's the question I am asking. I don't want to 'Move to Trash'. I just want to DELETE the file. Because the other problem we have, is that you cannot now delete an individual file from Trash. You can in Windows. Please understand that I am not trying to compare Windows to Mac. I purchased a MacBook out of choice. So, to learn Mac, I am asking questions. But, please don't think that the Mac way is the best and the only way. EDIT: By the way chas, your "My essay for switchers and newbies" is brilliant. Thanks for putting that together, when ever you did it! [/QUOTE]
