    Bypass Recycle Bin - is there any right-click menu modifiers?


    I am running a fully updated Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit. I am looking for a specific functionality. I want to have a selection always appear in my right-click menu when I click on a file giving me two options - one would be to delete the file as usual and the other would be to delete the file bypassing the recycle bin.

    I know that holding the shift button changes the delete function to a permanent delete, bypassing the recycle bin. I know that you can change the functionality of the recycle bin by right-clicking on it. I know that you can modify policy to delete files permanently, bypassing the recycle bin. What I want is to have both options presented to me in the right-click menu at the same time without needing to hold down the shift button. Surely there is a app out there that adds this to the right-click menu.

    Thank you for your time and courtesy!

    You could use this thirdparty software
    Download RightDelete 3.0 Free - A tool that will help you securely delete files. - Softpedia

    Or download Sysinterals/Microsoft utility
    SDelete
    place it in the C:\Program files\

    And run the following reg-file.
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\SDELETE\command]
    @="\"C:\\Program files\\sdelete.exe\" \"%1\""
    This will create a right click menu for all files.
    When clicked on that menu files will be securely deleted (no way to restore).

    Great stuff! That is just what I was looking for. Many thanks!

    You are welcome.
    Another idea would be to use similar reg file for Autohotkey script, which would do Shift+Delete thing for you.
