windows. The links provide quick access to file and folder management
activities and other places on your computer, such as My Computer, Shared

so they may already be displayed in your folders. If they are not, you can
use Folder Options to enable this feature.]]

Thank you Wes for your reply. Actually I found the simple explanation myself.
Opened folder, then view, then toolbars, customixe and then add big red x
delete.
Thank you again.

OK, I gotcha. Glad you figured it out. I didn't think of that.

You could have asked: How can I add the Delete button to my folders toolbar?

I either right click a file or folder and then click Delete.

Or select file(s) and folder(s) and hit the Delete key on my keyboard.

Many ways to skin cat.
