Learn about common Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts. A keyboard shortcut is a way to invoke a function in Mac OS X by pressing a combination of keys on your keyboard.
To use a keyboard shortcut, or key combination, you press a modifier key with a character key. For example, pressing the Command key (the key with a 
symbol) and the “c” key at the same time copies whatever is currently selected (text, graphics, and so forth) into the Clipboard. This is also known as the Command-C key combination (or keyboard shortcut).
A modifier key is a part of many key combinations. A modifier key alters the way other keystrokes or mouse clicks are interpreted by Mac OS X. Modifier keys include: Command, Control, Option, Shift, Caps Lock, and (on portable Macs) the fn key. (more…)

When you try to empty the Recycle Bin using the Empty Recycle Bin context menu or from the Tasks pane, you’ll see the confirmation dialog as shown below:
I’m not sure if you guys find it irritating but it really does for me. It’s like Windows think that we’re really dumb and we don’t quite know what we are doing. After some Googling, i found a solution on how to disable this confirmation prompt without editing any registry or any hassle. It is so easy that even a kid can do it. But the thing is, i didn’t know about this till yesterday.
Well the steps are as follows:-
1) Right Click on the Recycle Bin
2) Click on Properties
3) Untick the Delete Confirmation Dialog and click OK!
Yes that’s it! You’re done. From now on, when u press the “delete” key on your keyboard, there will be no more annoying prompt and it will be deleted straight to the Recycle Bin. Isin’t that great! Now just be careful when u press the delete key
