Enable Delete Confirmation Dialog in Windows 8

Introduction

The delete confirmation dialog is a confirmation message that confirms that the user intends to delete a file. This message is displayed when you try to delete a file. At that time the message "Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle bin?" is displayed.

But in Windows 8 when we delete a file the message is not displayed because this feature is disabled in Windows 8 by default. If you want to display a delete confirmation dialog in Windows 8 then you have to enable this feature.
