Win 8 setting whether to display the delete confirmation dialog

        When deleting a file or folder on a Windows 8 system, we will find that the system does not give a familiar dialog asking if you want to confirm the deletion. This is because the Win8 system is set to not display "OK to move the file to recycle. Is the station?" and "Are you sure to merge the folder with the same name?" and other query dialogs. Some users may not be used to this. The Win8 system gives a flexible setting method to meet the usage habits of different users.
