stop asking to confirm each time to delete a message

[outlook user]

"someone "hit something" and now each time I delete an email message, I get a
prompt asking me "are you sure you want to permanently delete this message?"

Yes, I'm sure. And I'd like to turn off this prompt. How do I do it?

Tools-> Options-> tab Other-> Advanced Options-> Warn before permanently
deleting items

Thanks, Roady. I'm in Outlook Express and do not have the tab you mention.
I have: tools: general, read, receipts, compose, signatures, spelling,
security, connection, maintenance.

I checked each tab for a "warn before deletion" check box, but couldn't find
it. We have two identities - one is getting the "warn before deletion"
message and one isn't. have no idea what happened.

Since you posted in a Office Outlook group the answer you got was appropriate. Outlook and Outlook Express are 2 different applications. You will need to repost this to a Outlook EXPRESS newsgroup for a correct answer.

Since you're also using the web based newsreader rather than outlook
express, you might want to use

(or, since you're using Outlook Express for mail, look at the steps in
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/community/columns/newsgroups101.mspx for
how to set up OE to use the microsoft newsgroup server).
