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).

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