The "delete" X icon is NOT the close window X. Read the question

Can't anyone read what the question was? It wasn't about the red x in the upper right corner to close the window. In windows 2000 and windows xp, there was an x icon on the windows explorer tool bar. Using that, you could delete the currently selected file by simply clicking on the x. You didn't have to right click and all that crap. When are the idiots at M$ going to quit screwing things up and leave well enough alone.



As you can probably tell, not having the "delete" x available in vista kinda ticks me off also.

The Red X is the universal close Button in all MS software. Normally top

left corner.



Why on earth would there be one in the Taskbar?

Is there a way to put a delete button on the taskbars? I hate having to pull

drop down menu every time I want to delete something. And I don't like using

the keyboard if I'm already using the mouse.

Thanks.

I normally just use the right click pop-up menu to delete things, if I don't

want to reach for the keyboard.

Hi, Kathy

If there were a delete button was on the taskbar, what would you want to be

deleted when you click it? How would the logic behind the button know what

you want to be deleted?

It is there on my Vista Home Premium.



The task bar is the long horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen, never

seen a red X in there XP or Vista.

Dear Richard,

When you reply to a post in

Or Other Website.



It shows up as a broken thread on a Microsoft Public newsgroup

and usually it's old outdated.
