    Deleting files in Win Explorer - lose highlight after each deletion?

    Is there a way to delete a highlighted file in Windows Explorer, and have the next file be highlighted, rather than outlined? When reviewing files for deletion, it would be nice if you could step through a directory, file by file, to delete files or not, one by one, using the Preview Pane to review each file. As it currently works for me, you can step up and down the file list using the up/down arrows, and each file becomes highlighted, but as soon as one is deleted, the following file becomes outlined, not highlighted, and it takes a click to highlight the file, or a up/down arrow, but that skips the outlined file in the process. You can select multiple highlighted files by holding down the Shift key while using the up/down arrows, but that's not quite the intended process. Can this be changed to have the next file be highlighted, following deletion of a highlighted file?

    Cant Delete Files From Desktop

    Well, ran into a weird bug with vista, for some reason i cant delete files from desktop, this normaly happens to .exe files, the ONLY fix seems to be to KILL explorer.exe, and delete the file, then restat explorer, anybody got any idea why this happens?
