How would you make it so whenever you delete a folder/file, either by the context menu or pressing delete, it deletes the file straight away, without first sending it to the recycle bin? I think it was a registry tweak, but I lost it when I re-installed xp a while ago. Thanks.

Press Shift-DEL instead of just DEL.

Right click on the Recycle Bin, and go to Properties. There is a checkbox there that says "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted"

Check the box.
