This is a great illustration of why it's nice to post these little 
hacks. I thought everybody knew about Shift+Del, but I was wrong.

Unless you're doing really massive deletes, another option is to 
right-click Recycle Bin and open Properties. Uncheck (untick) 
"Display delete confirmation dialog". Then things you delete with the 
plain Del key or Delete menu selection will be deleted without a 
confirmation prompt, but to the Recycle Bin so if you make an oops 
you can easily recover.
