Feature Request: Delete Confirmation #15

I know there is a delete confirmation dialog already in Windows. But the standard choice is "yes" (delete the item(s)) - this is bad.
My suggestion is to add a delete confirmation dialog too. Show files and folders in the description dialog.

Another suggestion is to manipulate the existing delete confirmation to be able to define "no" as standard choice.

I would rather use a new delete dialog than the standard one. The standard dialog can be disabled in "recycle bin"-properties. So one can decide which delete dialog fits more to use.

Whether this is possible in the context of this tool entirely depends upon if the menu is invisibly invoked for deleting too. I'm very hesitant to mess with this, but I'll see how much down time I have over the next couple months. From October through May I'll likely have very little down time to touch this, but of course others are welcome to do it.

It's also possible the default button varies for different editions of Windows.

I've attempted to test this idea out by defining the searched-for text as the "&Delete" menu term, however nothing happened when I did so. This means I either don't know the text, or delete is processed in some other way that isn't compatible with how this works.

Edit;
I forgot broken-e actually did implement the ability to check the default text always and pop it up in a window. Doing so confirms that delete (and rename) do not use the invisible menu. As such, this is definitely beyond the scope of my current knowledge.
